Vermont Lake Monsters News Release


BURLINGTON, VT --- The Tri-City ValleyCats rallied from an early 5-0 deficit with five unearned runs in seventh inning to tie the game, then got RBI hits from Bobby Wernes and Kolbey Carpenter in the top of the ninth inning for a 7-5 New York-Penn League victory over the Vermont Lake Monsters Saturday night at historic Centennial Field.

The Lake Monsters jumped to a 1-0 lead in the first inning on a Seth Brown RBI double, then added four runs in the second for the five-run lead. Brett Siddall led off the second with a triple and scored on a Ryan Howell sacrifice fly, while Richie Martin both had RBI infield singles that scored a runner all the way from second base.

The ValleyCats first run scored on a wild pitch right after the dropped foul ball and Johnny Sewald added an RBI double to cut the Vermont lead to 5-2. Tyler Painton relieved Lyons and gave up a RBI single to Alexander Melendez and a two-run game-tying double to Wernes. The game stayed 5-5 until the ninth when Painton walked Richard Gonalez to open the inning, then allowed a two-out go aheaad RBI single to Wernes and an RBI double to Carpenter.
