Lancaster Stormers News Release
The seventh inning was toxic to the Lancaster Barnstormers on their homestand, and the finale was no different.
Sugar Land used four walks and two doubles to produce five runs in the top of the seventh early Sunday evening as the Skeeters captured their last meeting with the 'Stormers this season, 7-2.
Connor Overton (1-2) was 106 pitches into the night but remained in the game to open the seventh. He retired Rico Noel on a ground ball to start the inning. Wynton Bernard drew a walk and scored on a long double to left center field by D.J. Peterson. Alejandro Chacin took over and walked the next three batters to force home the second run of the inning. Cody Stanley drilled a double inside the first base bag, clearing the bases for a 7-2 lead.
Lancaster struck for the night's first run. Darian Sandford led off the third inning with a single lined off the left wrist of starter Mike Hauschild. Sandford stole second and moved to third on a ground ball by Melvin Mercedes. Devon Torrence picked up the run with a single chopped through the right side. Torrence later stole second. Joe Terdoslavich was hit by a pitch, bringing up Destin Hood. With Torrence running, Hood ripped a line drive to the left side that hit the runner for the final out.
Immediately Sugar Land tied the game. Denis Phipps singled into center, and Zach Borenstein launched a double over Sandford's head in center.
Lancaster retook the lead with a one-out solo homer by Michael Martinez in the home fourth. Again, the Skeeters answered as Peterson clubbed his sixth homer to left center, tying the game at 2-2.
The Barnstormers open a four-game series against Somerset on Monday evening. Lancaster will send lefty Nate Reed (3-2) to the hill against right-hander Tyler Cloyd (0-1). Fans may tune into the Barnstormers YouTube Channel, beginning at 6:45.
NOTES: Caleb Gindl lost his 10-game hitting streak and 21-game on-base streak...Anderson De La Rosa hit safely for the 10th straight game...Torrence hit safely for his seventh consecutive game, and Sandford hit safely for the sixth straight...Bryan Harper pitched his fifth straight scoreless appearance.
