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.

Jeff Frazier doubled and belted a solo homer as he was pretty much the SeaWolves offense in their 6-1 loss to Altoona.  Nick McIntyre also had a nice game and he went two for three with a double.

Lucas French took the loss and he fell to 0-2.  He gave up five runs (three earned) on five hits and three walks with two strikeouts in 5 1/3 innings.

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.

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.

The Seawolves kicked off their season a day late but they got it done at the plate.  The game went eleven innings but five runs in the eleventh gave the SeaWolves the win.  Jeff Frazier had a huge game at the plate.  He went four for five with a double, a homerun, five RBIs and two runs. 

Jonathan Connolly gave up three runs in six innings in his start.  Juan Cedeno threw two hitless innings and he picked up the win.
