Red Wings Bats Fall Silent against Omaha Saturday Night

August 4, 2024 - International League (IL)
Rochester Red Wings News Release


For the second-straight night the Rochester Red Wings fell to Omaha in a pitcher's duel, this time by a score of 2-0. RHP Brad Lord delivered 5.2 strong innings on the mound, and LHP Tim Cate turned in 1.1 hitless innings of relief to hold the Storm Chasers at bay. RF Dylan Crews picked up Rochester's only hit of the night, a leadoff single in the bottom of the first.

Neither team was able to cross the plate, and both teams collected just one hit apiece until Omaha broke through with a leadoff triple from RF John Rave in the sixth. A ground out to third kept Rave at third base, but he trotted in to score the first run of the contest when 2B Nick Loftin chopped a ground ball that split the left side of the infield. Loftin then moved to second on a balk and scampered around to score the Storm Chasers second run of the game on a bloop single over first base from C Brian O'Keefe.

The score remained at 2-0 heading into the bottom of the ninth. With one out, PH Stone Garrett reached first base on a walk. He was stranded at first, however, and Rochester was shut out in back-to-back nine inning home games for the first time since April 16 & 17, 2013 against Scranton/WB.
