Jersey Shore BlueClaws News Release
LAKEWOOD, NJ - Lucas Giolito gave up one run over five innings and a 6th inning two-run single by Spencer Kieboom put Hagerstown up for good in a 4-2 Suns win on Saturday night at FirstEnergy Park.
Giolito (10-2) won his third game against Lakewood this year and the Suns improved to 15-7 against the BlueClaws in 2014.
Kieboom's two-run single followed an intentional walk to Jimmy Yezzo that loaded the bases. His hit was the last pitch thrown by BlueClaws starter Tyler Viza (3-16), who came out after allowing three runs in 5.1 innings of work.
Hagerstown added a run on an RBI single by Carlos Lopez in the 9th inning. David Napoli threw a 1-2-3 bottom of the 9th for his 5th save of the year.
Lakewood led 1-0 after an inning on an RBI single by Dylan Cozens. The BlueClaws closed to within 3-2 on an RBI groundout by Mitch Walding in the 6th but that is as close as they would get.
Aaron Brown went 3-4 in the loss for the BlueClaws and is now 7-13 in three games with the BlueClaws.
The series with Hagerstown concludes on Sunday at 5:05. RHP Jon Prosinski (4-5) will pitch for Lakewood.
