Lake Monsters win over Tri-City

July 2, 2011 - New York-Penn League (NYPL)
Vermont Lake Monsters News Release


BURLINGTON, VT --- Sean Jamieson went 4-for-5 with three runs scored as the Vermont Lake Monsters scored three times in the bottom of the fifth to erase a 4-2 deficit and went on to beat the Tri-City ValleyCats 7-4 in New York-Penn League action Saturday night at historic Centennial Field for the franchise's 600th win all-time.

Tri-City scored three unearned runs in the top of the fourth to take the 4-2 lead, but the Lake Monsters rallied for the sixth time in nine wins this season as they took the lead 5-4 with RBI singles from Jordan Tripp and Chad Lewis followed by a Jacob Tanis RBI groundout. The Lake Monsters added single runs in the sixth and eighth innings for the three-run victory.

Jamieson, an 11th round pick in the 2011 draft out of Canisius, doubled to leadoff the first inning before singling and scoring in the third, fifth and eighth innings. The shortstop is now 8-for-19 (.421) in his last four games after starting the season 2-for-17. Jordan Tripp was 3-for-4 with two runs, a double and two RBI, increasing his league-lead in runs to 15 for the season.

T.J. Walz (1-0) struckout two and allowed a hit in one scoreless inning for the win in relief of starter Brent Powers, who allowed four runs (one earned) on six hits over the first four innings. Kurt Wunderlich, who entered the game with a 19.64 ERA in 3 2/3 innings over three appearances, struckout three in three scoreless innings before Tanner Peters tossed a scoreless ninth for his third save.

Former University of Vermont standout Matt Duffy went 2-for-3 in his return to Centennial, where he played for the UVM baseball team in 2008 and 2009 (America East Player of the Year as Sophomore). Justin Gominsky went 2-for-5 with a pair of RBI, while reliever Kristian Bueno (1-1) gave up four runs (two earned) in two innings for the loss.

The win was the fourth in the last five games for Vermont (9-5), while the victory was also the 600th all-time in the Lake Monsters 18-year history. Vermont is now 600-685 all-time since they began in the New York-Penn League back in the 1994.

Vermont and Tri-City will wrap up the quick two-game series (and the two-game homestand for the Lake Monsters) on Sunday beginning at 1:05 pm. There is a post-game "Have A Catch" for fans to  have a chance to play catch in the Centennial outfield before heading out for their Fourth of July festivities.
