Recap
The
B-Mets won a tight pitcher’s duel Tuesday after scratching out two runs against
Portland starter Justin Haley in the 6th. Luis Cessa needed a lot of
pitches early, but the Sea Dogs weren’t squaring him up, and he’d settle in for
6 strong innings with only the three hits allowed. Gavin Cecchini kept on
raking, picking up three hits, although he just missed participating in the 6th
inning rally. The Sea Dogs infield gifted Dustin Lawley a single in the 6th,
and Aderlin Rodriguez made them pay when he drove a double into the left center
field gap, which also brought home Jayce Boyd. Chase Huchingson was the first
to come in from the pen, and had one of his better outings, although he was
still a little wild. Reliable Paul Sewald converted his 8th save in
the 9th, but he had to work around two singles allowed
The
B-Mets head to Altoona Friday night, short one Jayce Boyd, but plus one Robert
Gsellman and two players yet to be announced (guessing Michael Conforto and
Jeff McNeil). Michael Fulmer is scheduled to make the 6 PM start for
Binghamton.
Scoring Highlights
Gavin
Cecchini led off the game with his first of 3 hits in the game, this single
back up the middle. He’d add a two out double in the 5th, and a
leadoff single in the 7th.

The
B-Mets rallied for two run in the 6th when the first 4 batters
reached. Jayce Boyd led off with Eastern League leading 16th double
(hopefully his last AA double ever), went to 3B on a popup infield single from
Dustin Lawley, and then Aderlin Rodriguez brought them both home with a double.

After
8 strikeouts in his first start of 2015, Luis Cessa had only reached 5 again in
one start before Thursday morning, allowing a double-digit hit total in two of
those starts. His problems getting swinging strikes really butted their head in
the 1st and 2nd innings, when he needed 49 pitches to
work around two hits – that is a lot of foul balls hit against Cessa. The good
news is that Portland was having trouble squaring him up, which has generally
been the case in all of his starts this year, leading to a 55+% groundball rate
so far. After allowing a two out single in the 2nd, Cessa would
retire the next 9, with 1 strikeout, 3 groundouts, and 2 infield pop outs (+ 3
fly outs). After allowing a double with two outs in the 5th, Cessa
retired the final four Portland batters he’d face, departing after 6 because of
his high pitch count. He picked up at least one strikeout with each of his four
pitches, including the less commonly used curveball (per Tim Heiman).
