Chris Snevel battled some control issues to pitch a complete
game six hitter for the Solar Satans. Snevel walked seven and
struck out five while yielding two earned runs.
Sean Grove hit a home run leading off the fifth as the Devils
went on to score three runs to take a 6-4 lead.
Expo reliever Take Kawasaki took the loss, surrendering three
runs on one hit and two walks in the fifth. Two Expo errors led
to two unearned runs in the frame.
Jeff Wenger had two RBI for the Devs in a game that had a total
of 13 hits but did not have a player with a multi hit game.
The loss snapped the Expos' five game winning streak. The Sun
Devils have now won three in a row.
Monday's Highlights-Sentries Late Rally Stones Goliaths: The
Margate Sentries
rallied from a 9-5 deficit in the bottom of the ninth and
recorded a 10-9 victory over the Expansion Division leading
Davie Goliaths.
Paul Gonzalez stroked a two out RBI single to cap the Fightin'
Phils five run rally in the final frame.
After falling behind 2-0 in the first, primarily due to Reggie
Benson's RBI single, the Goliaths systematically built a 7-2
lead. Danny Negron, who had three hits, had a two run single in
the Philistines' four run third inning as they took the lead.
Sean Bulaskas had an RBI single in a two run fourth. David
Bourns singled in a run in the fifth.
The Gatekeepers pulled to within 7-5 in the bottom of the fifth
on a sacrifice fly by Cesar Abreu, Jr. and a two run ground rule
double by David Munguia.
In the top of the seventh, the Goliaths stretched their lead to
9-5. Jason Silver, who had two hits and three RBI, singled in a
run, as did Bourns.
The Sentries opened their final inning rally as Art Randolph,
who entered the game as a pinch runner in the fifth, singled to
lead off. After Shawn Flanders flew out to center for the first
out, Abreu reached on an infield single and Benson walked to
load the bases. Munguia drew a run scoring walk to cut the gap
to 9-6.
Andrew Peterson singled in a run to make the score 9-7 and
Lawrence Weissman was safe on another infield hit as Benson
scored to bring the Sentries to within one run.
With the bases still loaded and one out, Ray Ubiera lined a ball
toward short that appeared to be a game ending double play, but
shortstop James Priester mistimed his leap and the ball caromed
off of his glove for a game tying single.
After Phil Laufman flew out to center for the second out,
Gonzalez drove a single to right center to drive in Peterson
with the winning run.
Peterson, who pitched three and two thirds innings of relief,
allowing three runs on six hits, earned the win. Bourns started
for the Goliaths and permitted two earned runs on seven hits in
five innings. Norm Vazquez, who surrendered five runs on seven
hits in one and two thirds innings, took the loss.
The Goliaths' loss snapped their four game winning streak, while
the Sentries have now won four in a row.
