Vermont Lake Monsters News Release


BURLINGTON, VT --- Sean Jamieson went 3-for-4 including a game-tying RBI single as the Vermont Lake Monsters scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh inning for a come-from-behind 3-2 victory over the Jamestown Jammers in New York-Penn League action Saturday night at historic Centennial Field.

The game was scoreless until the bottom of the fifth inning when Vermont's Chris Affinito drilled a 2-0 pitch the opposite way over the right field wall for his second home run of the season. Jamestown quickly rallied to take the lead with two runs in the top of the sixth on a Eddie Rodriguez two-run single.

Affinito started the rally in the seventh for the Lake Monsters as he was hit by a pitch with one out. After Affinito was forced out at second on a Diomedes Lopez grounder, Lopez stole second and moved to third on a Sam Roberts bad hop single to second base with two outs.

Jamieson tied the game as he grounded a 0-1 pitch between short and third to plate Lopez with the tying run. Jammer reliever Blake Brewer (2-1) then struggled with his control as he walked Chad Oberacker on a 3-2 pitch and Chad Lewis on four pitches to force home Roberts with the go ahead run.

The Lake Monsters got strong outings from a pair of pitchers who had struggled coming into the game. Starter Kurt Wunderlich tossed four scoreless innings, allowing three hits with one walk and three strikeouts to lower his ERA from 10.59 down to 8.57 for the season. Jeiler Castillo (1-1) gave up the two runs in the sixth, but also struckout three in three innings of relief for the win lowering his ERA down to 9.18.

Rodriguez, Kentrell DeWitt and Josh Adams each had three hits for Jamestown (20-16), while starter Joshua Hodges allowed just the Affinito home run and three hits over six innings. Lake Monster Drew Bailey struckout one in a scoreless eighth, while Tanner Peters a scoreless ninth for his sixth save of the season.

Vermont (18-16), which has won two of its last three after a five-game losing streak, and Jamestown will play Sunday afternoon at 1:05 pm at Centennial in the middle game of the three-game series.
