Clinton LumberKings News Release


Game #1: @ Clinton 6, Cedar Rapids 0

Matt Farnum (8-8; 4.37) stayed hot with five shutout frames, allowing five hits without issuing a base on balls. Nick Seely and Cesar Herrera each fired a shutout inning in relief to preserve the win.

Farnum, who struggled through a horrible slump in the middle of the season, finishes the month of August with a record of 3-1 and a 1.86 ERA. He has fanned 20 and walked six in 29 frames this month and the MWL is hitting just .236 against him during that span.

Larry Grayson went 2-3 with a homer to drive in three runs to pace the Clinton offense, as he has all month. Grayson is hitting just .257 / .319 / .441 overall, but has hit .354 / .409 / .595 with four bombs and 15 RBIs in 79 August at-bats

Game #2: @ Clinton 3, Cedar Rapids 2

In the 2nd half of the twin bill, the LumberKings went an extra inning to get the win as Micah Furtado delivered a solo shot in the bottom of the eighth to cap a 2-4 effort. Catcher Cody Clark went 3-3 with a pair of doubles and scored once.

Furtado has hit .376 / .459 / .527 in 93 August at-bats.

Jesse Chavez (4.68) went the first six, allowing two runs on four hits and three walks, and Joel Kirsten (7-1; 2.61) earned the win with two shutout innings, allowing two hits without issuing a walk.
