This was a tough one.  Dallas Trahern gave up three runs in his six innings of work and when he left the game, Erie had a six run lead (they had as much as a seven run lead earlier in the game).  Then in the very next inning that he’s pulled, the bullpen is tagged for nine runs and Erie said bye-bye to the lead.  Kevin Adroin took the loss but the bulk of the damage was given up by Randor Bierd, who gave up six of those nine seventh inning runs.

Clete Thomas had a huge day at the plate.  He went four for four with a triple, a homerun, four RBIs and three runs in the 13-11 loss.

The Thunder has the best record in the Eastern League and Erie was able to take care of them.  The big hit of the game was a three run homer by Michael Hollimon that gave the Seawolves the lead for good.  Matthew Joyce also had a nice game and he went two for four with a double, a walk and a run.

Kevin Adroin picked up the win and he improved to 3-4 on the season.  He gave up one hit with one strikeout in 2 2/3 innings of shutout relief.

Clete Thomas had a nice game in the loss.  He went three for five with two doubles and an RBI.  Matthew Joyce went three for three with a solo homerun.

This was a wild one.  Erie scored the first five runs and then Portland scored the next eight.  Then Erie got two in the eighth and two in the ninth to win it.  Jackson Melian drove in the tying run and then Clete Thomas drove home the winning run by drawing a bases loaded walk.

Erick Almonte led the way with the bat.  He went two for three with a double, a grand slam and three runs scored.  Melian finished the game with three hits and he drove in two.

Kevin Adroin picked up the win.  He gave up a hit and a walk with strikeout in a shutout ninth inning.

The Seawolves took a 7-0 lead into the bottom of the ninth inning and after a total collapse by starter Jonathan Connolly and some poor relief pitching by Kyle Sleeth, an automatic win turned into a disappointing loss.  Kevin Ardoin only gave up the losing run and while he took the loss, there was plenty of blame to go around.

Andres Torres homered and drove in two runs.  Kody Kirkland went two for five with a homerun and two runs scored.

The Seawolves got eight great innings for Eddie Bonine today in their 2-1 win over the Thunder.  He gave up just one run on four hits and two walks with three strikeouts.  Kevin Adroin picked up the win with two shutout innings to close out the game.

Erick Almonte hit a solo homer in the fifth inning to put Erie on the board.  Michael Holliman scored the game winner when he scored on a passed ball in the tenth inning.

It’s never good when you have more errors (3) then you do hits and that was the case in Erie’s 4-3 loss to Akron.  What’s probably more amazing was that the game was as close as it was because Erie loss just 4-3.

Pedro Cotto provided most of the offense with a pinch hit, two run double in the eighth inning that actually gave Erie the lead.  Jair Jurrjens had a nice start and he gave up just one run on four hits and five walks with five strikeouts in seven innings.  Kevin Adroin took the loss when he gave up the deciding run in the ninth inning.
