The SeaWolves broke out the bats with 15 hits on Saturday night at Northeast Delta Dental Stadium, taking down the New Hampshire Fisher Cats 8-2.

 

The Cats struck for a run in the bottom of the first inning against Erie starter Josh Turley. John Berti led off with a double and would later come home on a double play ball for a 1-0 lead.

 

Erie struck back in the top of the third against Fisher Cats starter Connor Greene. Kody Eaves led off with a double and Wynton Bernard singled putting runners on the corners. Bernard stole second for his 10th steal of the year. With two outs, Jason Krizan doubled home the runners for a 2-1 Erie lead.

 

In the top of the fourth, Grayson Greiner connected on an opposite-field, solo home run, his fourth of the year and second on the road trip for a 3-1 lead.

 

The SeaWolves would add onto the lead once again in the fifth. Gustavo Nunez walked with one out and stole second. With two outs, Corey Jones singled home Nunez making it 4-1.

 

Erie would then put the game out of reach in the sixth. Greiner and Connor Harrell started the inning with back-to-back singles. With one out, Bernard singled home Greiner making it 5-1. With two outs, Anthony Gose singled home Harrell and Bernard making it 7-1.

 

The Cats would get one back in the eighth against reliever Adam Ravenelle. With two outs, Dwight Smith, Jr. singled and Rowdy Tellez walked putting a pair on for Ryan Lavarnway. Lavarnway singled home Smith, making it 7-2.

 

The SeaWolves added a final run in the ninth against reliever Wil Browning. Krizan led off with a double, Jones singled and Dominic Ficociello walked, loading the bases. Greiner hit into a fielder's choice and Krizan was retired at the plate for the second out. Harrell then singled home Jones making it 8-2.

 

Angel Nesbitt worked a 1-2-3 ninth, preserving the Erie win.

 

Turley (5-7) earned the win for Erie. He allowed a run on six hits with two walks and six strikeouts in seven innings of work. It was the third time in four starts that Turley went seven or more innings in a game.

 

Greene (3-4) took the loss allowing six runs on nine hits with two walks and six strikeouts in 5.1 innings.

 

The SeaWolves will look for the series win on Sunday afternoon against the Fisher Cats at 1:35 p.m. RHP Cory Riordan (4-6, 5.15 ERA) takes the mound for Erie against RHP Jeremy Gabryszwski (6-8, 4.71 ERA).

LANSING, Mich. - The Lansing Lugnuts (20-22, 56-56) ended a four-game losing streak with a 7-4 win over the error-prone Fort Wayne TinCaps (18-24, 54-58) before a crowd of 7,514 on Saturday night at Cooley Law School Stadium.

 

Coupled with a Great Lakes Loons loss to South Bend, the Lugnuts rebuilt their Eastern Division wild card lead to 1.5 games.

 

Entering play, the Nuts had scored over four runs only once in their last 14 games - a Josh DeGraaf start against Fort Wayne on August 1st that resulted in a 10-9 win. Just like on that night, DeGraaf was on the mound. And just like on that night, the Lugnuts' offense was off and roaring early.

 

TinCaps starter Angel Mejia (Loss, 1-3) gave up 11 hits and six runs (five earned) in just 4 2/3 innings, reached for three runs in the first inning, one in the fourth and two more in the fifth.

 

The right-hander was undermined by his defense; catcher Marcus Greene, Jr. committed two passed balls and two run-scoring throwing errors, left fielder Jhonatan Pena was assessed a fielding error, and Mejia himself missed a catch covering at first base.

 

DeGraaf, who had given up six hits and two runs in four innings on August 1st, limited the TinCaps to a nearly identical seven hits and two runs in four innings on this night.

 

He yielded to Tayler Saucedo (Win, 7-9), who gave up two runs (one earned) on two hits in three innings, striking out three.

 

Connor Panas crushed a 414-foot home run on the first pitch of the bottom of the seventh, his team-leading 14th homer of the season.

 

Jackson Lowery (Save, 3) set down the final six batters in perfect fashion, striking out five TinCaps.

 

The Lugnuts' offense was led by a 3-for-4 performance from All-Star Juan Kelly, with Lane Thomas supplying a double, two walks, two runs scored and a stolen base, and Panas, John La Prise and Andrew Guillotte adding a pair of hits apiece.

 

The second game of the four-game series is a special Superheroes Day on a Kids Day presented by Delta Dental, starting at 2:05 p.m.: Play Catch on the Field before the game, and Kids Run the Bases after the game! Lansing sends right-hander Justin Maese (1-1, 3.22) to the mound against Fort Wayne right-hander J.C. Cosme (8-5, 3.61).

Espada looks pretty bad so far. 0 k's through 6 IP is horrendous.

[Maahfaace]

Why didn't Harris start?

[Krylian]

Does Fisk get credited with a CG since Harris was technically the actual starting pitcher?

Does Fisk get credited with a CG since Harris was technically the actual starting pitcher?

 

It seems so, he has to CG to his credit this season and only pitched 7+ twice.

[Jonn]

Did Harris get hurt in warmup?

Did Harris get hurt in warmup?

 

As per the other thread, apparently it was a long rain delay.
