Erie SeaWolves News Release
Three Erie pitchers held down one of the most potent offenses in the league as the 'Wolves earned a series split with a 4-1 win over the Binghamton Mets on Sunday afternoon at NYSEG Stadium.
The SeaWolves struck first in the top of the fifth against Mets starter Mike Antonini. Deik Scram led off the inning with a bloop double to right. He would come home to score on a one-out single by Andy Bouchie for a 1-0 lead.
The 'Wolves took a 2-0 lead in the top of the seventh inning against reliever Eric Niesen when Bouchie blasted an opposite-field solo home run, his eighth.
Binghamton got on the board against Erie starter Anthony Shawler in the bottom of the seventh. Kirk Nieuwenhuis led off with a double off the wall in left. He would come home to score on a one-out double by Josh Satin making it a 2-1 game. Shawler would get out of the inning with the lead as the Mets stranded the tying run at third.
The 'Wolves add to the lead in the eighth. Cesar Nicolas drew a four-pitch, one-out walk brining Rawley Bishop to the plate. Bishop slammed an opposite-field, two run home run around the right field foul pole, his fourth, for a 4-1 lead.
Shawler gave way to Zach Simons who tossed a scorless eighth inning. Lester Oliveros earned his second save by striking out the side in the ninth, preserving the Erie victory.
Shawler (2-2) earned his first win as a starting pitcher in five games. He allowed a run on three hits with two walks and six strikeouts in a season-high seven innings of work. It was Shawlers longest outing since September 7, 2009 when he tossed eight innings in a loss to Fort Wayne while pitching with West Michigan.
The SeaWolves return home to Jerry Uht Park on Monday night to take on the Altoona Curve.7:05 First Pitch. It will be BUCK NIGHT. Righty Brooks Brown (8-6, 3.89 ERA) takes the mound for the SeaWolves against lefty Jeff Locke (1-0, 0.82 ERA).
