Sea Dogs Walk-Off with Series Win over Trenton
April 20, 2016 - Eastern League (EL1)
Portland Sea Dogs News Release
Portland, Maine - Jordan Betts drilled a double to the gap in right center field to score Jake Romanski and the Sea Dogs (6-8) walked-off with a 1-0 win over the Trenton Thunder (7-6) in front of 5,033 fans Wednesday afternoon at Hadlock Field.
Betts (1-4, 2B, R) picked up his fourth RBI in his third career Double-A start on his game-winning hit off of Matt Tracy (L, 1-1). The win for Portland gives them the series over Trenton, two games to one. The walk-off win is the first for Portland since Aneury Tavarez hit a walk-off home run against Harrisburg on July 30, 2015. The Sea Dogs finished the homestand 3-4 combined against Trenton and Hartford.
Teddy Stankiewicz (6.0 IP, 4 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 6 SO) has now begun his Double-A career with three straight quality starts, but has received a no-decision in all three starts. Daniel Camarena (4.0 IP, 2 H, 0 R, 0 BB, 3 SO) made his 2016 Thunder debut after being called up on Monday and allowed just three baserunners through his four innings.
Luis Ysla (W, 1-0) earned his first career Double-A win with a scoreless, hitless ninth inning. He issued two walks, but with runners on first and second and one out in the top of the ninth, Ysla induced a ground ball from Jose Rosario that the Sea Dogs turned into a 5-4-3 double play. Williams Jerez also pitched two scoreless innings of relief and allowed two hits while walking one and striking out two.
The Sea Dogs have Thursday off, then begin a four-game series with the Hartford Yard Goats at Hadlock Field where Hartford will be the home team, due to their home ballpark still being under construction. Friday night's game is a 6:00 PM start and features RHP Ty Buttrey (0-2, 5.59) vs. LHP Harrison Musgrave (1-0, 2.57). Saturday is a doubleheader beginning at 1:00 PM, and Sunday is also a 1:00 PM start. Tickets are still available and can be purchased at the Sea Dogs ticket office, by phone at 207-879-9500, or online at seadogs.com.
