Vermont Lake Monsters News Release


NORWICH, CT --- Chad Lewis went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and Jacob Tanis added a pair of RBI singles as the Vermont Lake Monsters beat the Connecticut Tigers 4-3 in New York-Penn League action Tuesday night at Dodd Stadium.

The Tigers took an early 1-0 lead in the bottom of the first on a one-out Tyler Hanover double and Danry Vasquez RBI single, but Vermont quickly tied the game in the second as Wilfredo Solano scored an unearned run on a wild pitch that followed a two-out throwing error by third baseman Brett Harrison. Lewis then gave the Lake Monsters a 2-1 lead in the fourth inning with a two-out solo homer, his first home run of the season.

Vermont added a run in the seventh as Chad Lewis led off with a single, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt and scored two batters later on a Tanis two-out RBI single. Connecticut got a run back in the bottom of the seventh as Vasquez led off with a double and scored an unearned run one out later on a Bruce Maxwell passed ball to cut deficit to 3-2., 

Tanis added another RBI single in the ninth with one out to score Brett Vertigan, who had led off the inning with a double, with a much need insurance run as the Tigers got a two-out RBI single from Bennett Pickar. But with the tying run on third and winning run on first, Tucker Healey struckout pinch hitter Zach Kirksey  for his third strikeout of the inning to end the game and pick up his second save of the season.

Julio Ramos (1-1) allowed one hit with two strikeouts in three scoreless innings to earn the win in relief of Deyvi Jimenez, who had given up one run on three hits over the first three innings. Connecticut starter Endrys Briceno (0-2) gave up two runs (one earned) on three hits over five innings to take the loss, while Vasquez was 3-for-4 with two runs scored for the Tigers (5-11).

Vermont (9-7) returns home to historic Centennial Field for a six-game homestand beginning with a special 4:05 Fourth of July start time against the Hudson Valley Renegades. Wednesday is also Travelers Night at the Ballpark with "Chip for Charity"to raise money for Turning Point Center of Chittenden County.
