Recap
After
a long (15 innings) and wild game one in Lexington Saturday night, the Sand
Gnats and Legends still had 7 more innings of baseball to play, which meant
advantage starting pitchers. Ricky Knapp and Corey Ray would combine for 11.2
of the 14 innings thrown in game 2, with only one other Lexington pitcher
brought in during a game that lasted 2 hours and 17 minutes. Knapp allowed a
run to score before recording an out in the 1st inning, but was
nearly unhittable after that, saving a Savannah bullpen that was overworked in
game one.
Knapp
would allow more base runners before recording an out than he did once he
struck out Wander Franco for the first out in the 1st inning. The
first four Legends batters reached on a double, walk, RBI single, and a single
that loaded the bases, but then Knapp retired 7 straight, and 21 of the final
24 Lexington batters in the game. He was attacking the zone well, and featured
an effective curveball throughout.
These
two teams were scheduled to finish their series Sunday evening, but rain
intervened and it looks like they might not make it up this year.
Scoring Highlights
Luis
Guillorme picked up a one out single to CF in the 1st inning, but he
would be caught stealing to end the frame.
Jonathan
Johnson reached on an infield single to the SS leading off the 4th
inning, and then scored on a force out/E4.
Joe
Tuschak would spark the 5th inning rally with a one out single to CF,
and then came around to score on a throwing error from the second baseman Logan
Davis. John Mora kept the inning alive with a two out RBI single to LF that
gave Savannah a 3-2 lead. Eudor Garcia would single him over to 3B, and then
Mora scored on an E2 after Eudor stole 2B.
