Rain Cuts the Game Short

Only 6.5 innings were played in last night's contest against the York Revolution but it was enough time for the Blue Crabs to pull off yet another win.

The game was a close one from the start with York getting out to an early 1-0 lead in the first. Knuckballer Joe Gannon was pitching for the Blue Crabs and went for the entire 6.5 innings going for his second complete game on the season. He surrendered 7 hits, gave up one run that was earned, walked 3 batters and struck out one. He wouldn't however get any assistance from the offense until the fifth.

Despite being unable to capitalize on a base loaded with no outs 4th it would prove to be unnecessary as we would score the tying run in the fifth and score the winning runs in the 6th. The run in the fifth was scored by John Ramistella off an Eric Crozier RBI single. Travis Garcia lead off the 6th with a single and would come in to score on a homerun hit by our Captain Jeremy Owens. The boys would continue on the play through the rain, as York would be given a chance to bat in the top of the 7th. However York was unable to amass anything more then a single hit and thus we would go into a rain delay. The management let the rain pour for about an hour before calling the game officially and putting it down as a win for the Blue Crabs. We were however greatly entertained by catcher Anthony Perry and his rain delay fun.



In other Blue Crabs News: With the win we remain in first play heading into tonight's game against the Newark Bears. We are 3 games ahead of Long Island, 3.5 games ahead of Camden and 8.5 games ahead of Bridgeport. Also we "traded" infielder Enohel Polanco to Bridgeport, Enohel who wasn't seeing much playing time here due to our high number of infielders but may have a chance at more playing time in Bridgeport due to their recent loss of players to the majors. We wish him the best of luck and hope he has a wonderful rest of the season.
