Southern Maryland Blue Crabs News Release


(Waldorf, MD) It was early in the day when the Blue Crabs got ready to finish up a three-game series with the Lexington Counter Clocks. Going into the final game, the series was not decided just yet, the Crabs had won four-straight series, and Liam O'Sullivan was looking to make it five.

The early half of the third frame was when the first tally was added to the board. Andrew Moritz singled to left to drive in Zach Davis, giving the Clocks the early lead over the Crabs.

Yeudy Garcia, who started the game for Lexington, had worked around some danger, stranding a runner in all five innings he spun through. Lexington took him out of the game and brought in Raymells Rosa.

Rosa gave up a walk and a single to get a couple runners on base. With a payoff pitch coming up and two outs, Braxton Lee nailed a ball 364 feet into right-center to plate Matt Hibbert and Philip Caulfield. The Crabs finally broke through to take a 2-1 lead.

The Blue Crabs added three more insurance runs from a Jack Sundberg two-bagger, a Braxton Lee sacrifice fly, and a Khalil Lee single ripped into left field. Liam O'Sullivan did give up one more run, but he sealed his 11th career complete game with a slow rolling ground ball played to perfection by the shortstop, Ian Yetsko.

The final to wrap up this series was 5-2 for the Blue Crabs, winning five-straight series and six of their last seven. Their record is 46-40 in the 2023 season, and they have won 15 of their first 23 in the second half. Going into the weekend trifecta with the Charleston Dirty Birds, the Crabs are only half a game out of first place in the North Division in the second half.
