FREDERICK, MD - Frederick's woes against Gastonia continued on Saturday night as they dropped the middle game of their three game set by a 12-4 score, dropping to 0-11 against the first place Honey Hunters.

Gastonia wasted no time getting to Dustin Beggs on Saturday, as Jack Reinheimer led the game off with a double, and was followed immediately by a JC Escarra home run. Later in the inning, a Steven Sensley double and Scott Manea groundout plated two more, giving Gastonia the early 4-0 cushion.

Frederick got a pair back in the bottom of the first as Raudy Read hit a lined shot over the left field wall that cut the deficit in half, 4-2. It was the ninth homer of the year for Read, who extended his hitting streak to 15 games.

Gastonia proceeded to score in the next three innings to pad their lead. In the second inning, it was a Zach Jarrett single. Curtis Terry led off the third inning with a solo home run, and later in the inning, Cole Freeman knocked an RBI single of his own. After a leadoff walk in the fourth inning, Zach Jarrett continued to torch Frederick with a two-run blast, making it 9-2. One batter later, Beggs was chased from the game in favor of a debuting Jeff Singer.

Singer proceeded to impress in his Frederick debut with a pair of scoreless innings that included a pair of strikeouts.

In the bottom of the fifth inning, Kole Cottam led the frame off with a solo home run to right center field.

Max Tannenbaum was next out of the bullpen for Frederick, and tossed a perfect sixth inning.

In the bottom of the sixth, Frederick led off with yet another home run, this time off the bat of Jose Marmolejos, cutting the deficit to 9-4.

The seventh for Frederick did not go as smoothly, as Scott Manea led off with a home run off of Brady Feigl. Jack Reinheimer added a two-run home run of his own to make it a 12-4 game. Reinheimer finished his night with four hits, reaching base five times, and coming a triple shy of the cycle.

Frederick would not go down without a fight, however, as Leobaldo Cabrera reached on a one-out double, and scored on a pinch-hit single by Scott Kelly. Cottam followed with another home run to cut the deficit to 12-7, but Sam Freeman retired the next two to close the game out and secure another series win for Gastonia.

Frederick will look to right the ship on Sunday, as they send David Kubiak to the mound for a 1 PM first pitch

Notes:

Kole Cottam reached in all four trips, finishing his night with two home runs, a double, and three driven in.

Ian McKinney got the win for Gastonia, pitching six innings, allowing four runs on five hits while striking out four.

Six of Frederick's seven runs came courtesy of the home runs (Cottam x2, Read, and Marmolejos)
