The SeaWolves lost to the Curve today and it was Jonah Nickerson who was knocked around.  He fell to 0-2 and he gave up four runs on eight hits and three walks with three strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.  Josh Rainwater also had a tough time and he gave up two runs in 1 1/3 innings.

Jeff Frazier went three for four with a double in the 6-4 loss.  Maxwell Leon went two for four with a double and an RBI.

The SeaWolves lost to the Curve and it was Luis Marte who took some lumps.  He fell to 0-2 and he gave up six runs (four earned) on five hits and two walks with six strikeouts in five innings.  Josh Kite gave up a run in three innings out of the pen.

The bulk of Erie’s offense came from Jeff Frazier.  He went two for four with a homerun, three RBIs and two runs.  Ryan Strieby went two for four with a double, a walk and two runs.

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 pitcher’s yielded just one hit in their 3-0 win over Altoona.  Alfredo Figaro got things going with seven shutout frames without giving up a hit before yielding to the pen.  Zach Simons kept things going with a no-hit eighth but then Brett Jensen gave up a two hit double in the ninth to spoil the no-hitter.  Figaro struck out five and walked three to improve to 1-0 while Jensen picked up his third save of the season.

Scott Sizemore provided the bulk of the SeaWolves offense in the win.  He went four for four with two doubles, a walk, two runs and an RBI.  Santo De Leon singled twice and scored a run.

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.
