LOWELL, MA --- Every Lake Monsters starter had at least one hit and Vermont tied a team record with six doubles in a 7-3 New York-Penn League victory over the Lowell Spinners on Tuesday night at LeLecheur Park.

Jordan Tripp put the Lake Monsters on the board in the top of the first inning with a two-out solo home run for his second homer of the young season. Vermont then added four runs in the second inning on just two hits for a 5-0 lead.

After Chris Affinito led off the inning with a double, Diomedes Lopez lined a single off the foot of Lowell starter Hunter Cervenka to put runners on first and third. Cervenka (0-2) stayed in the game, but struggled with his control the rest of the inning as he walked three batters and allowed two runs to score on wild pitches.

Vermont added an unearned run in the fifth and got a Chad Lewis RBI double in the eighth inning. The Spinners got their three runs on a Travis Shaw solo home run to leadoff the bottom of the fourth and Will Middlebrooks two-run homer in the bottom of the ninth.

The six doubles tied a Lake Monsters record for doubles in a game for the eighth time, the last coming at Aberdeen on August 30, 2010. Including an Aaron Shipman triple and Tripp's solo home run, eight of Vermont's 11 hits were for extra bases on Tuesday.

Lewis was 2-for-5 with a pair of doubles, while Lopez was 2-for-4 with a run scored. Starter Seth Frankoff (2-0) gave up one run on three hits with two walks and five strikeouts over six innings for his second win of the season, while reliever T.J. Walz struckout five of the six batters he faced in two perfect innings.

Vermont (6-4) snapped a modest two-game losing streak with the victory and now head to Connecticut for a three-game series against the Tigers. The Lake Monsters return home for a quick two-game homestand against the Tri-City ValleyCats Saturday at 6:05 pm and Sunday at 1:05 pm.
