Wilmington Blue Rocks News Release


Wilmington, DE - Michael Mariot coupled with some timely offense to help the Wilmington Blue Rocks rally from an early deficit and down the Kinston Indians, 4-1, on Saturday night at Frawley Stadium.

Mariot (7-3) allowed just a single unearned score in 7.2 innings while Wilmington plated all of its runs in the final four frames.

The teams each notched their first tally of the night thanks to some shaky defense.

Mariot's errant throw to third on a sharp comebacker to the mound allowed Tyler Casas to score for Kinston in the opening frame.

The K-Tribe would hold onto that advantage until the sixth inning, when Wilmington pulled even without the benefit of a hit.

Whit Merrifield walked and then was sacrificed to second by Carlo Testa.

Kinston starter Clayton Clark responded by striking out Nick Van Stratten, but the third strike bounced off the shin guard of catcher Adam Abraham.

Abraham's throw to first finished the strikeout, but Merrifield alertly broke for third.

Jesus Aguilar attempted to gun him down, but the first baseman's toss sailed well wide of third base.

The error allowed Merrifield to come home, and the game was tied, 1-1.

Wilmington took its first lead of the night a frame later.

Ryan Stovall opened the inning with an infield single deep in the hole at short.

Tim Ferguson followed with a hit-and-run single through the vacated starting point of the covering second baseman.

Deivy Batista walked one out later to load the bases with one away for Gerard Hall.

Kinston decided to go to its bullpen, pulling Cook 6-8) in favor of Kyle Landis.

It made no matter to the Wilmington shortstop, who came up large by sending a liner into left field that plated both Stovall and Ferguson.

The two-run single put the Blue Crew ahead to stay.

Wilmington added some insurance in the eighth thanks to a pair of two-out hits and a bruise.

John Whittleman keyed the rally by legging out an infield single.

He went to second when Stovall was hit by a pitch and scored on Ferguson's flare to left.

Mariot was nearly flawless.

After allowing the unearned score in the first, he surrendered just four more hits the rest of the way.

The right-hander whiffed six and walked only one as he made it through 7.2 frames.

Elisaul Pimentel entered after Mariot yielded a two-out single in the eighth.

The ranked prospect did not allow a single base runner as he earned his first career save.

Wilmington goes for the sweep as it wraps up this three-game set with Kinston on Sunday at 1:35 p.m.

Noel Arguelles (3-4, 2.89) takes the Frawley Stadium hill for the Blue Crew against Kinston right-hander Brett Brach (6-7, 3.40).

Broadcast coverage begins at 1:05 p.m. as studio host Adam Dobrowolski brings fans the Rocks Report Pre-game Show, presented by Wawa, on 89.7 WGLS-FM and online at wgls.rowan.edu.

PEBBLES OF KNOWLEDGE:

For the second straight night Whit Merrifield

wasted little time extending the longest active hitting streak in the Carolina League.

Merrifield doubled in the opening inning, making it knocks in 12 straight games. The centerfielder went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a walk on Saturday and is hitting .306 (15-for-49) during the streak.

The 12-gamer is the second-longest by a Blue Rock in 2011.

Nick Francis

hit safely in 13 consecutive contests from April 15-29.

Wilmington 's bid to play error-free baseball in three consecutive games ended even earlier.

Michael Mariot's throwing error in the top of the first marked the 19th time Wilmington has committed at least one defensive miscue in its previous 23 contests.

On Thursday and Friday the Rocks turned in two straight games with a clean defensive slate for the first time since a June 14 doubleheader against Lynchburg.

Mariot established a new career-high by going 7.2 innings on the hill.

The right-hander had lasted seven frames in a game twice before Saturday, including once in 2011 when he beat Myrtle Beach on July 20.

Mariot also set a new season-high with six strikeouts in Saturday's outing.

John Whittleman

is now officially out of his recent slump.

After making outs in 30 of his 35 previous at-bats entering Thursday, the Rocks infielder has reached safely seven times in his last three games.

Whittleman singled twice in Wilmington's win on Saturday, finishing the night 2-for-4 with a run scored.

Ryan Stovall

busted out of a 1-for-15 skid at the plate with a two-knock night.

The first baseman singled in the fourth and seventh innings before getting hit by a pitch in the eighth.

The Rocks have posted consecutive wins for the first time since back-to-back victories on July 11 and 13.

Wilmington also scored its first series-win since taking two-of-three from Myrtle Beach July 9-11.

Kinston has yet to register an earned run in this series.

The K-Tribe were blanked on Friday and then managed just a single unearned score in Saturday's setback.
