Offence Propels Lynx To Third Straight Win

April 18, 2007 - International League (IL1)
Ottawa Lynx News Release


Every Lynx player collected a hit, while Ron Calloway, Jason Jaramillo, Pedro Swann and Carlos Leon had two hits apiece in the Lynx 7-4 win over Charlotte. The Lynx have now won three in a row and have taken both games at Lynx Stadium this season.

The win improves the Lynx record to 4-5 and drops the Knights to 5-7.

Player Of The Game: Even with such a balanced attack, catcher Jason Jaramillo's two hits, two runs scored and one run batted in stood out. He and battery-mate Brian Mazone even combined to pick off one runner and catch another two trying to steal a base.

Game Recap: The Knights came out strong with two runs in the top of the second inning, but that lead wouldn't last long. The Lynx came back with two of their own. Brennan King walked and was moved to second by Jason Jaramillo's single before Pedro Swann drove King home with an RBI double. Carlos Leon brought Jaramillo home on a groundout to tie the game. But the Lynx attack would strike in the third, fourth and fifth inning to stretch the lead to 7-2. Burnham brought home Chris Coste with a two-out RBI double in the third. Chris Roberson got his team-leading 9th RBI of the season when he singled home Jason Jaramillo in the bottom of the fourth. Jaramillo notched his RBI the next inning and he was joined by Carlos Leon in driving home a run in the Lynx three-run fifth. Charlotte would get single runs in the seventh and eighth, but Yoel Hernandez would pitch a perfect ninth inning to nail down his first save of the season and make the Lynx third straight win official.

Next Game: The Lynx host the Knights in the third game of their four-game series Thursday afternoon at Lynx Stadium. Game time for the weekday matinee is 1:05pm.

Probable Pitchers: Thursday vs. Charlotte, 1:05 pm, Ottawa LHP Jim Crowell (0-0, 33.75) vs. RHP Lance Broadway (0-0, 3.27)
