Clearwater Threshers News Release


BRADENTON, FL - After the Bradenton Marauders (17-22) cut the lead down to one run late, Avery Owusu-Asiedu hit a home run to deep right field as the Clearwater Threshers (22-18) held on for a 6-3 win over the Bradenton Marauders on Tuesday night at LECOM Park. The Threshers look to keep their winning streak alive when they return to Bradenton on Wednesday evening.

With two outs in the first inning, Eduardo Tait swatted a solo home run off Marauders' starter Peyton Stumbo to give the Threshers a 1-0 lead. The first three batters for the Threshers reached with a hit in the second inning, beginning with back-to-back singles from Brady Day and Kodey Shojinaga. Day scored on a Raider Tello RBI double in the third at-bat of the second inning. The double moved Shojinaga to third, and with two outs in the second, he was able to score on an error by Bradenton's third baseman Jhonny Severino that made it 3-0 Threshers.

Bradenton got on the board with two runs in the bottom of the seventh to cut Clearwater's lead to one run. The Threshers responded in the top of the eighth, beginning with a leadoff walk to Day. He moved to second on a balk by Marauders reliever David Matoma and then to third on Shojinaga's single. With one out in the frame, Owusu-Asiedu clubbed a 0-1 pitch out to right field for a three-run home run, extending the Threshers' advantage to four runs. Bradenton added one run in the eighth and put one more batter aboard in the ninth before the Threshers shut the door and took a 6-3 win.

Luke Gabrysh (2-3) earned the win with one hit allowed in 5.0 scoreless innings, one walk, and five strikeouts. Luis Avila struck out two with one hit allowed in 1.0 shutout frame. Eli Trop struck out one, walked two, and surrendered one hit in 0.1 innings with two runs allowed.
