Mahoning Valley Scrappers News Release


The Mahoning Valley Scrappers (19-21) came up one game short of their first three-game sweep of the season. They fell short of the Tri-City ValleyCats (23-19).

Tri-City jumped out early, and scored often. They only had four extra bases, but single after single put the Scrappers in deep trouble early on. Every batter in the ValleyCats lineup had multi hits except for Antonio Nunez and Richard Gonzalez.

The ValleyCats scored one in the bottom of the third when Brooks Marlow scored on a Nunez bunt single.

The Scrappers came close to scoring in the top of the fourth when Jodd Carter flew out to Johnny Sewald and when Nate Winfrey tied to tag and score, Sewald threw him out. The ValleyCats scored three in the bottom of the fourth and fifth, one in the sixth, and two in the seventh. One of the two runs in th seventh was a Cesar Carrasco home run to left just under the scoreboard.

The Scrappers did get three runs in the sixth. They got a two-run home run from Jodd Carter and then an RBI single for Nate Winfrey.

Daniel Salters' 12-game hitting streak came to an end. Ka'ai Tom extended his to six games, while Winfrey extended his to eight games. The Scrappers snapped their five game winning streak, but finished the road trip 4-1 and head back to Niles for a six-game homestand against the Crosscutters and Muckdogs.

Casey Shane (1-3) takes the loss. He went four and one-third innings giving up eight hits, five runs, all of them earned, and struck out four. Chris Murphy went three and one-third innings for Tri-City and gave up just four hits and one walk. Zac Grotz (2-1) earned the win.

Mahoning Valley heads home and will take on the Crosscutters on Monday night at 7:05 at Eastwood Field.
