Recapish
The
Fireflies won game one Tuesday evening on the back of another great start from
their rotation. Tyler Badamo was making his SAL debut and was as advertised,
efficiently pitching to contact and throwing strikes at a high rate. Badamo was
pitching opposite one of the Braves top prospects in Touki Touissant, who
flashed the great stuff that has him rated so high on prospect lists, but
lacked the control of the more polished Badamo. The Fireflies took advantage of
Touki’s wildness in the 2nd inning, drawing two walks in the frame
and pulling ahead on a double from Ivan Wilson. David Thompson continued his
hot start by adding an RBI double in the 3rd inning, and that would
be more than enough for Badamo.
Badamo
only ended up with two strikeouts, but he induced 10 swinging strikes in the
game, they just often came to start the PA. He threw a nice mix of sinkers and
changeups throughout the start, mixing in his curve occasionally too. Johnny
Magliozzi would come in for the 7th and work a 1-2-3 frame for the 7th,
finishing the game with a strikeout. I’m limiting my recap here because I go
into much more game detail below. The Fireflies double header would continue
their double-header behind Joe Shaw in the nightcap.
Scoring Highlights
Vinny
Siena picked up the first hit of the day with a single in the 1st
inning, but the Fireflies couldn’t score in the frame.
The
Fireflies broke through against Touki Toussaint in the 2nd thanks to
a very well struck double off the bat of Ivan Wilson. Wilson doubled home Tyler
Moore (single) and Milton Ramos (walk after battling back from down 0-2).
Siena
picked up his second hit of the game leading off the 3rd, and then
scored when David Thompson pulled a double down the LF line.
Kevin
Kaczmarski roped a single up the middle in the 5th, but Columbia
couldn’t get anything else going.
Defensive Highlights
Milton
Ramos charged this soft grounder in the 2nd and didn’t rush after he
needed to double clutch. Ramos made nice plays in the 4th and 5th
innings too, but MiLB.tv was not fully back for either play.
Kevin
Kaczmarski had a long way to run for this fly out in the 3rd inning.
Tyler
Badamo finishes in a good position to field, and fields his position well in
the 3rd on a comebacker.

*13.3% Swinging strike rate
First pitch strike to 17/23 batters faced (73.9%)
Austin Riley pulled a two out
double down the LF line in the 1st inning, but Badamo recovered to
retire Matt Tellor on a groundout to Dash.
Badamo started the 2nd
inning with a strikeout of Justin Ellison, his first ever SAL strikeout. Braves
catcher Lucas Herbert followed with a double chopped down the LF line – the
pitch was an inside corner fastball at his shoulders, so not much more Badamo
could’ve done. After a groundout advanced Herbert, Luke Dykstra singled him
home on a hot shot off of Badamo’s foot. He’d bounce back to retire the final
batter of the 2nd, but Columbia was down 1-0.
He worked a clean 3rd
inning, inducing a comebacker and striking out Riley to finish the frame.
Badamo worked around a two out
single in the 4th inning (another hit from Herbert on a high
fastball), retiring two batters via the groundout and one via a pop out.
Erison
Mendez hit a one out triple off of Badamo in the 5th inning, and the
next two batters would follow with line drives, but both were hit right at
Columbia infielders, so Badamo escaped unscored upon.
He
finished his night with a clean 6th inning.
Bonus
Johnny Magliozzi
Mags
worked a perfect 7th inning for the save, striking out Luke Dykstra
looking to finish the game.
Touki Touissant
He
had three strikeouts: J.C. Rodriguez in the 2nd, and then Tyler
Moore and Milton Ramos in the 4th.
