Anthony Tomey fell to 2-3 on the season after he gave up a two run homer in the bottom of the tenth inning in a 5-3 loss to Bowie.  Casey Fien was the most effective hitter with 2 1/3 shutout innings.

All three SeaWolves runs came via solo homers.  Dusty Ryan, Ryan Roberson and Jeff Frazier all went yard for Erie.

The SeaWolves split their pair of games today with Altoona.  Game one was a 4-3, extra inning loss that saw Casey Fien give up a walk off solo homer in the bottom of the eighth inning.  Benjamin Fritz didn’t get the decision and he gave up three runs (one earned) on eleven hits and one walk with four strikeouts in six innings.  Maxim St. Pierre and Jeff Frazier both had two singles and each drove in a run.

Game two was a 9-2 beatdown.  Dusty Ryan went two for four with a double, a homerun, three RBIs and two runs.  Diek Scram went three for five with a double, two RBIs and a run.  Lucas French improved to 2-2 and he gave up two runs on five hits and four walks with four strikeouts in the seven inning complete game.

Erie edged Altoona 5-4 and Wilkin Ramirez had the game winning hit.  His solo homer in the bottom of the seventh broke a 4-4 tie and that won it for the SeaWolves.  Freddy Guzman went one for three with two walks, three stolen bases and a run.  The three steals brings his season total up to 13 on the season.

Casey Fien allowed the tying run to score in the seventh inning but because Erie turned around and took the lead back in a hurry, he got the win.  Freddy Dolsi pitched a shutout ninth and he saved his first of the season.

The White Caps rallied for three runs in the top of the eleventh inning as they took care of Wisconsin 6-3.  Ryan Strieby broke the two with a big two run double and he later scored on an error to cap off the three run eleventh.  Jeramy Laster went two for four with a two run homer.

Casey Fien picked up the win with a shutout tenth inning.  This was after a solid start by Jonah Nickerson, who struck out nine and gave up three runs in nine innings.

Casey Fien gave up an unearned run in the bottom of the tenth inning as the White Caps lost to Wisconsin 5-4.  It was disappointing because the White Caps had come back from as many as three down to tie the game and send it into extra frames only to lose it in extra innings.

Brandon Timm was the hitting star.  He went three for five with a triple, an RBI and a run.

The White Caps pulled this one out with a flair for the dramatic.  Down 1-0 Scott Sizemore scored on a ground out by James Skelton to tie the game out and then Sizemore scored on a throwing error on a stolen base attempt in the bottom of the eleventh to win it.  Sizemore finished the game four for five.

Casey Fien picked up the win and he improved to 4-0 on the season.  He pitched a shutout eleventh inning in which he struck out the side.

James Skelton doubled home Scott Sizemore in the bottom of the twelth inning to win it for the White Caps 5-4.  Jeramy Laster singled twice and drove in two runs while Santo De Leon went three for four with a triple and a run.

Casey Fien picked up the win and he improved to 3-0 with two innings of shutout relief.  He gave up one hit and one walk with four strikeouts.

The big story in this game was when Louis Ott was hit in the seventh, there was a bench clearing brawl.  Nobody got hurt but it made the local news.  The Lugnuts pitcher was ejected as was Ott.

That overshadowed a solid pitching performance by Casey Fien.  He gave up two runs (one earned) on four hits and he struck out five in five innings of relief.  The win pushed his record to 2-0 on the season.

Scott Sizemore was the hitting star in the 4-2 win.  He went two for four with a triple, a homerun, two RBIs and two runs.

Ryan Strieby hit a big two run homer in the top of the ninth and that proved to be the game winner in the White Caps 4-3 win over the Dragons.  Audy Ciriaco also had a nice game and he went two for four with a double and two RBIs.

A solid start by Jeffrey Gerbe almost went to waste.  He gave up just two runs on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts in seven innings.  Casey Fien picked up the win with a shutout eighth.
