Laredo Lemurs News Release
Laredo, TX - The Laredo Lemurs pitching staff gave up eight runs in the final two frames as the Winnipeg Goldeyes take the final game of the series 12-3.
Starting pitcher Chris Chavez got off to a great start for the Lemurs giving up one hit through the first four innings of work, but the Goldeyes would strike for three runs in the fifth to take a 3-2 lead over the Lemurs. The Goldeyes one run lead would hold up until the bottom of the seventh as the Lemurs put together three hits in the bottom of the inning to help bring home the tying run.
The tied game wouldn't last very long as Price Kendal started off the eighth with a single with one out. Chris Roberson followed up with a single of his own and Jon Weber loaded the bases with a walk. With the bases loaded Yurendell DeCaster hit a fly ball to left that was caught by Ernie Banks Jr. but the ball was hit deep enough to score the go ahead run and make the score 4-3 in favor of the Goldeyes.
The Goldeyes would strike big in the ninth, putting up seven runs, with five hits, and an error mixed in against relief pitcher Jon Hunton. Winnipeg's relief pitching proved solid in the eighth and ninth against the Lemurs as they retired the side order in each frame.
The Lemurs played seven games at home and posted a 4-3 record. They now hit the road for a seven game raod trip that will take them to Amarillo, TX and Lincoln, NE. You can hear all the games online at www.laredolemurs.com.
