Vermont Lake Monsters News Release


BURLINGTON, VT --- Mario Alcantara tossed five scoreless innings and Tzu-Wei Lin's RBI infield single accounted for the only run in a six-inning, rain-shortened 1-0 victory for the Lowell Spinners in New York-Penn League action Monday night at historic Centennial Field.

The Spinners scored the only run of the game in the third off Vermont reliever Matt Stalcup, who walked the first two batters he faced in the inning. After a sacrifice bunt from Cleuluis Rondon, Lin bounced a grounder back up the middle for the infield single that scored Nick Moore. Stalcup worked out of further trouble in the inning and also got out of a second and third with one-out jam in the fourth by striking out Moore and Williams Jerez.

But the Lake Monsters offense was unable to get anything going against Alcantara, who gave up just two hits with two walks and four strikeouts over the four scoreless innings. B.J. Boyd had a one-out double in the first and Michael Soto a one-out double in the fourth for Vermont's only two hits.

Lowell reliever Taylor Grover retired the side in order, including a pair of strikeouts, in the bottom of the sixth before the game was halted by the umpires due to a thunderstorm that hit Centennial just as the inning was ending. It was just the fifth game at Centennial Field in Lake Monsters history to be shortened by rain (or fog) and the first Vermont loss in a shortened game at home since July 23, 1996 (2-1 loss to Lowell).

Vermont and Lowell will wrap up the three-game series and the Lake Monsters six-game homestand on Tuesday starting at 7:05 pm. All fans attending Tuesday's game will receive a free 2013 Vermont Lake Monsters team photo courtesy of Catamount Color.
