Break out the Brooms!!

It looked like the Revolution would finally win one against the Crabs, but Captain Jeremy Owens would have none of it.

The Blue Crabs got out to an early lead in the game, getting two runs in the second. With one out, Jeremy Owens would single and Lance Burkhart would be walked, both would come in to score on a double hit by John Ramistella. Their bats however would fall silent for the next four innings, being unable to bring any base runners home while the Revolution would go on a tear scoring five runs between the 4th and the 6th. Just when things seemed at their lowest, John Ramistella led off the 7th with a walk, Liu Rodriguez would also be walked. John would then score on a single hit by James Shanks, Michael Tucker would then single to load the bases and Ken Harvey would walk in a run scoring Liu. Down only one run now the Crabs only need a base hit from their Captain to tie the game and possibly take the lead, but Jeremy wasn't content with merely tying the game, he wanted to make sure the win was final. And with that in a 1-2 count, Jeremy crack a bomb deep over the left field wall, the 4th grand slam in this season for the Blue Crabs, and Jeremy's Second in his Blue Crabs Career.

Ryan Bicondoa got the start tonight going 5.1 innings for the no-decision. He allowed all five of the Revolutions runs on 9 hits and 4 walks while striking out only 2. Mike James would then come in to pitch the remained of the 6th and the 7th, allowing only one walk while striking out two to get the win. Matt Schweitzer would then pitch a scoreless eight while allowing only one hit after striking out two. Derrick Ellison then closed out the game getting his first save of the season allowing only one hit with one strike out, keeping his ERA at nothing.

In Other Blue Crabs News: After the Game, the York Revolution purchased the contract of Infielder Jermy Acey. We wish him the best of luck with them and hope that he will be able to enjoy as much success there as he has had here.
