Wilmington Jaguars News Release
WILMINGTON, DE â The Wilmington Blue Rocks rocked Indians prospect Adam Miller for six runs in the first inning and rolled to a 9-1 win over Kinston at Frawley Stadium Friday night. The Rocks have won five of their last six games against the K-Tribe.
Wilmington starter Mike Stodolka (1-2) faced one above the minimum through four before losing a no-hit bid with an infield single by Pat Magness leading off the fifth. The southpaw went five shutout innings allowing just one hit and one walk while striking out four batters.
The win for Stodolka marks his first since April 28, 2003. The 22-year-old is coming off Tommy John surgery that cut his year short last season.
Stodolka had the luxury of a commanding 6-0 lead after just one inning as the Rocks sent ten men to the plate in the frame against 19-year-old Adam Miller (0-1). Bernard Stephens hit a two-run single in the six-run first, extending his hitting streak to a team-best 12 straight. Miller was hurt by a pair of errors in the frame allowing four unearned runs amongst the six total.
Neither team would score again until the seventh inning when Shane Costa drilled a three-run homer to right field for a 9-0 Wilmington lead. Steve Chamberlain allowed a run in the ninth after two walks and a pair of wild pitches for the 9-1 final.
Tomorrow, the Rocks will throw southpaw Dusty Hughes (3-3, 2.71) against fellow lefty Keith Ramsey (8-3, 4.46). Game time is set for 7:05 p.m. at Frawley.
