Jonathan Connolly fell to 0-1 with a tough start in the SeaWolves 9-5 loss to Trenton.  He gave up six runs on thirteen hits and a walk with two strikeouts in six frames.

Deik Scram went two for five with an RBI.  Freddy Guzman tripled, drew two walks and scored twice.

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.

Lucas French improved to 1-2 on the season with a nearly flawless start in Erie’s 7-0 win over Harrisburg.  He gave up just three hits with three strikeouts in eight shutout innings.

Daniel Worth had a huge day at the plate in the win.  He went five for five with a double, a triple, two RBIs and a run.  Freddy Guzman singled, drew a walk, stole his ninth base and scored twice. 

Erie’s hitters bailed out the pitchers as the SeaWolves belted their way to an 11-10 win.  Deik Scram homered and drove in three runs while Maxim St. Pierre went two for five with a double and three RBIs.  Freddy Guzman also had a nice game and he went one for two with two walks, a homerun, two RBIs and two runs.

Danny Zell picked up the win more because he was the last pitcher standing.  He gave up one run on two hits in two innings of work.

Three late runs weren’t enough as Erie fell to Bowie 6-5.  Josh Rainwater took the loss and he fell to 2-1.  He gave up three runs (one earned) on three hits and three walks with two strikeouts in 4 1/3 innings.

Freddy Guzman singled, doubled and drove in two runs in the loss.  Jeff Frazier went two for four with a walk and a run.

Normally, ten runs and thirteen hits will do it but the B-Mets picked up eleven runs on nineteen hits as both teams put on a hitting display.  Andrew Kown took the brunt of the damage and he fell to 1-1.  He gave up ten runs (nine earned) on twelve hits and two walks with one strikeout in four innings.

Maxim St. Pierre belted his first homer of the season.  Freddy Guzman had a pair of hits, runs and RBIs while Maxwell Leon doubled, drove in two runs and scored.

Erie topped Harrisburg 3-2 and it was William Rhymes that had the big hit of the game.  His three run homer in the third inning was all the SeaWolves got it but it was enough for the win.  Freddy Guzman pitched in with a triple, a single and he scored on the homer.

Josh Rainwater improved to 2-0 with a nice start.  He gave up one run on three hits with six strikeouts in 5 2/3 innings.

Four different pitchers gave up four runs a piece as the SeaWolves were dismantled by Harrisburg.  Daniel Christensen was one of those pitchers and he took the loss. 

Deik Scram had a nice day at the plate and he went three for four with an RBI.  Freddy Guzman went two for four with a homerun, two RBIs and two runs.

Erie took two today in two very different games over Bowie.  The first game was a pitcher’s dual in which Benjamin Fritz threw six solid innings.  He gave up one run on seven hits with two strikeouts while Josh Rainwater picked up the win with a shutout inning in the eighth inning.  Jeff Frazier went two for three with two walks while Wilkin Ramirez belted a solo shot.

In the second game, Erie’s pitching wasn’t nearly as good but they piled on the offense.  Freddy Guzman tripled and he drove in four runs while Maxim St. Pierre doubled, drove in three and scored a run.  Anthony Tomey was the least effective pitcher and he gave up three runs in three innings but he was the one who picked up the win.
