Jon Kibler had one of his best starts of the season go to waste because the SeaWolves managed just five hits and a run in a 3-1 loss to Akron.  He gave up one hit and four walks with seven strikeouts in six shutout innings.  Cody Satterwhite gave up three runs in the eighth inning and he fell to 4-6 on the season.

Deik Scram went two for four in the loss.  Danny Worth drew three walks and he scored the lone run.

Erie had the lead in the ninth in this one but Cody Satterwhite gave up a run in the bottom of the ninth and then Josh Kite gave up a run in the bottom of the eleventh in a 6-5 loss.  Kite fell to 2-4 and Luis Marte took a no-decision in his start.  He gave up four runs (three earned) on six hits and a walk with four strikeouts in seven innings.

Deik Scram went two for five with three runs.  Casper Wells went two for five with a two run homer.

Erie didn’t have much going and they were down 4-0 until they scored two in the eighth and two in the ninth to send the game into extra frames.  Then flood gates opened and they scored five runs in the top of the tenth inning.  Danny Worth doubled twice, drew a walk and drove in two runs.  Michael Hollimon went two for five with a double, a triple, two runs and two RBIs.

Cody Satterwhite picked up the win and he improved to 2-4.  He gave up two hits and three walks with two strikeouts in 2 1/3 innings.

Jonathan Kibler may not have gotten the win in this one, but his start was very solid none the less.  He gave up just two runs on six hits and two walks with four strikeouts in 6 2/3 innings.  Jay Sborz struck out three in 1 1/3 innings and he improved to 1-1 while Cody Satterwhite threw a shutout ninth and he picked up his eighth save of the season.

Deik Scram belted a solo home run in the win.  Mike Hollimon singled, drove in a run and scored.

There’s nothing like overcoming a 9-1 deficit and that’s just what Erie did earlier tonight.  There were plenty of hitting stars in the SeaWolves 12-9 win over the Curve but Shawn Roof was a notch above the rest.  He went four for five with two triples, five RBIs and two runs.  Maxwell Leon went four for five with a double, two RBIs and two runs.

Jon Kibler was pummelled for eight runs in 2 2/3 innings.  Josh Rainwater pitched two shutout innings of relief and he improved to 2-0 while Cody Satterwhite pitched a shutout ninth to pick up his seventh save of the season.

Jonah Nickerson improved to 3-3 with a solid outing in Erie’s 4-1 win over Akron.  He gave up one run on eight hits and three walks with three strikeouts in seven innings.  Cody Satterwhite pitched the final two frames and didn’t allow a run and he earned his sixth save of the season.

Maxwell Leon led the way at the plate and he went three for four with a double and a run.  Ryan Strieby went two for four with a double, a run and an RBI.

Brooks Brown improved to 1-0 on the season with an exceptional outing in the SeaWolves 3-1 win over Altoona.  He gave up just three hits and a walk with one strikeout in seven shutout innings.  Cody Satterwhite got the final batter of the game out and he picked up his second save of the season.

Brennan Boesch went two for four with a double, a run and an RBI.  Alex Avila doubled and drew a walk.

Erie dropped their third straight game after winning their first four in a game where the pitching just went away.  Jon Kibler got the start and while he lasted 5 2/3 innings, he finished with the loss and he gave up six runs on nine hits and two walks with three strikeouts.  With this being Kibler’s second straight rocky start, you wonder if the jump over Lakeland to Erie was warranted.  The only pitcher who didn’t give up a run was Cody Satterwhite, who pitched a shutout ninth frame.

Jeff Frazier went two for four with a pair of runs in the 9-3 loss.  Maxwell Leon went two for four with a walk and a run.

Brooks Brown didn’t get the win in this one, but he did about all he could to make sure the SeaWolves did walk away with a victory.  He gave up just four hits and two walks with three strikeouts in five shutout innings while Ramon Garcia got the victory despite giving up the lone Curve run.  Cody Satterwhite closed the game out and he gave up a hit and a walk but he struck out two in the ninth to pick up his first save of the season.

Ryan Strieby was in the middle of both Erie runs in the 2-1 win. He singled, doubled, drove in a run and scored.  Scott Sizemore was the only other Erie hitter to have two hits.

The win puts Erie at an impressive 4-0.  They’ll get a day off tomorrow before Bowie heads to town.
