Tidy Win Completes Sweep

Lancaster Stormers News Release


Five Lancaster pitchers and some magnificent defense limited Staten Island to three hits on Sunday afternoon as the Stormers completed a sweep of the FerryHawks, 5-1, at Penn Medicine Park.

The win maintained, at minimum, a three-game lead for the Stormers in the North Division race, pending the outcome of the Long Island Ducks home game against York.

Noah Skirrow (15-3) held Staten Island hitless for 4 2/3 innings, thanks in part to successive diving plays by second baseman Melvin Mercedes and Daniel Amaral in the third. Alberto Osuna cracked a triple into left center in the fifth, scoring Kolby Johnson, who had been hit by a pitch.

Vaun Brown reached Michael McAvene for a double in the sixth, but a perfect 7-6-2 relay and lunging tag by Joe Campagna on Tyler Dearden kept the FerryHawks off the board. Drew Maggi doubled to left against Jackson Rees in the ninth.

Billy Sullivan and Scott Engler were also used by the Stormers, each tossing a hitless inning and earning a hold.

The Stormers offense could not replicate its massive output from Saturday night, but it did enough to back the pitching and defense. Nick Ward homered for the third game in a row, a two-run shot down the right field line off Nate Roe (0-1) in the second.

After the lone run for the Hawks in the fifth, Joe Campagna stretched the lead back to two with a two-out RBI single that scored Luis Castro in the bottom of the inning.

In the eighth, with the game still hotly contested, Campagna greeted Robbie Baker with a single to center. Campagna stole second and took third on an opposite field single by Nick Lucky. Both scored with Amaral whistled a liner over the head of shortstop Eddy Diaz that scooted all the way to the warning track in left center for a triple.

Lancaster will entertain York in a three-game series beginning Tuesday. Luke McCollough (0-2) will take the hill for Lancaster against lefty Braden Scott (0-1). Fans may follow the action on FloSports, beginning at 6:40.
