Lemurs Split a Double Dip with Diablos
July 20, 2013 - American Association (AA)
Laredo Lemurs News Release
The Lemurs scored three unanswered runs in the final two innings to come back and defeat the Diablos 4-3 in a close game one of the doubleheader. Through the fifth inning, El Paso had built a 3-1 lead behind a 2-for-3 performance from C Moises Montero that included a run and an RBI double. A solo home run from Laredo 1B John Alonso had provided their only run until DH John Allen sparked a comeback in the top of the sixth with a solo homer. The Lemurs narrowly earned the win after an error in right field allowed Laredo to score twice and clinch the victory.
Alonso had the best batting performance of his team, hitting the early homer and going 3-for-4. RHP Mark Haynes pitched the final inning for the Lemurs and did not allow any hits, earning him his fourth win of the season.
El Paso 8, Laredo 3 (Game 2 - 7 innings)
Game two of the doubleheader saw El Paso jump out to another early lead, but this time the Lemurs could not quite piece together a full comeback as the Diablos won in commanding fashion 8-3. El Paso benefitted from a balanced effort from its batters and a strong five-inning start from LHP Carlos Teller, who earned the win in his first game for the Diablos. Teller had four strikeouts and allowed just one run and five hits. SS Maikol Gonzalez had one of the more notable batting performances, going 3-for-4 with an RBI single in the fourth and a run in the third.
Lemurs CF Daniel Poma showed signs of another potential comeback when he hit a two-run double in the top of the seventh, but the rally ended there, well short of a comeback.
