Cale Iorg had a big day at the plate that included a three run blast as the SeaWolves blew out the B-Mets 12-4.  He went two for six with a home run and three RBIs.  Deik Scram had a nice game as well and he went four for five with a triple, a solo home run, a walk and four runs.

Jon Kibler picked up the win and he improved to 5-5.  He gave up three runs on four hits and two walks with six strikeouts in seven innings.

The SeaWolves had a twin billing today and they lost them both.  Game one went ten innings and Jay Sborz took the loss when he gave up a tenth inning run.  Brett Jensen gave up a run in the sixth and that was what put the game into extra frames.  Alex Avila went two for five with a double, a run and two RBIs.  Danny Worth went two for four with a double and two runs.

Game two turned into a one run pitchers duel in a game where the two teams combined for just six hits.  Shawn Roof doubled and that was the only extra base hit.  Josh Rainwater took the loss despite a very nice start.  He gave up a run on three hits and three walks with five strikeouts in five innings.

Jonah Nickerson fell to 4-6 on the season with a rough start in Erie’s 10-5 loss to Harrisburg.  He gave up seven runs on ten hits and a walk with four strikeouts in six innings.  Reliever Ramon Garcia also had a tough time and he gave up three runs in two innings of relief.

Brennan Boesch was the hitting star in the loss.  He went two for three with a home run, two RBIs and two runs.  Ron Bourquin tripled and he drove in one.

Erie had a tough time getting anything going at the plate as they lost to Harrisburg 3-2.  Alex Avila provided most of the Tigers offense with a double, a home run and two RBIs.  No other SeaWolve had more then one hit.

A solid start by Jon Kibler went to waste.  He gave up three runs (one earned) on eight hits and a walk in 6 1/3 innings.

Thad Weber made the most of his season debut with the SeaWolves after his promotion from Lakeland.  He improved to 1-0 and he gave up just two runs on eight hits and one walk with four strikeouts in six innings.

Andy Dirks singled and drove in a pair of runs.  Cale Iorg had a nice game and he went three for four with a double, an RBI and two runs.

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.

Pat Stanley improved to 1-2 on the season with a really nice start in Erie’s 5-1 win over Portland.  He gave up one run on four hits and two walks with three strikeouts in 6 1/3 innings.

Cale Iorg went two for four with a pair of RBIs.  Deik Scram doubled, drew a walk and drove in two.  Portland didn’t want anything to do with Ryan Strieby and he drew four walks.

There wasn’t much offense for the SeaWolves today as they were shut out on just three hits in a 5-0 loss to Portland.  Casper Wells doubled and Deik Scram tripled to lead the way but that was about it in a punchless performance by the offense.

Jonah Nickerson took the loss and he fell to 4-5.  He gave up four runs on nine hits with three strikeouts in seven innings.

Alfredo Figaro improved to 5-2 on the season with a very solid start in Erie’s 7-2 win over New Hampshire.  He gave up two runs on three hits and one walk with ten strikeouts in 7 1/3 innings.

Maxwell Leon went two for three with a double, a solo home run and two runs.  Casper Wells went two for four with a home run.

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.

Scott Sizemore scored on an error in the bottom of the ninth and while that sent the game into frames, the contest didn’t last much longer then that.  Zach Simons gave up two unearned runs in the top of the tenth and while the Wolves rallied for a run in the bottom half of the inning, it wasn’t enough. 

Alex Avila went two for three with two walks and a run.  Ryan Strieby went two for five and he belted his thirteenth home run.  Michael Hollimon also went yard with his third of the season.
