Vermont Lake Monsters News Release


BROOKLYN, NY --- Chad Oberacker went 3-for-4 with a pair of RBI singles and Jose Macias allowed just one unearned run over six innings to lead the Vermont Lake Monsters to a 5-2 victory over the Brooklyn Cyclones in New York-Penn League action Wednesday night at MCU Park.

Vermont jumped out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning on back-to-back one-out singles from Chih-Fang Pang and Jordan Tripp ahead of a two-out RBI single to right field for Oberacker. The Lake Monsters added an unearned run in the fourth as Oberacker led off with a bunt single and scored all the way from first when leftfielder Travis Taijeron misplayed a single from Chris Affinito for a 2-0 lead.

The Lake Monsters added three insurance runs in the seventh off reliever Randy Fontanez, including another RBI single from Oberacker for a 3-0 lead. Vermont scored another run on a wild pitch before a Jacob Tanis RBI single plated Affinito for a 5-run lead.

Macias (2-2) allowed four hits over the first six innings and had retired seven Cyclones in a row before allowing Charley Thurber leadoff infield single in the seventh inning and then left the game after hitting the next batter. Thurber later scored in the inning on a bases loaded forceout, but reliever Ryan Hughes worked out of further trouble with strikeout and another forceout.

Taajeron went 2-for-2 with two doubles and scored Brooklyn's second run of the game in the ninth on a Jonathan Clark two-out RBI single off reliever Nathan Kilcrease, who got potential-tying run Ismael Tijerina to line out to third base to end the game for the Stedler Division-leading Lake Monsters.

Pan and Affinito each had two hits for Vermont (12-6), which has won seven of its last nine games. Cyclone starter Marco Camarena (1-1) allowed two runs (one earned) on five hits over five innings to take the loss as Brooklyn fell to 11-9 on the season.

The Lake Monsters and Cyclones meet in game two of the three-game series in Brooklyn on Thursday before the series finale Friday. Vermont returns home to historic Centennial Field on Saturday for a three-game series against the McNamara-Division leading Staten Island Yankees through Monday.
