Recapish
This
Fireflies picked up their third straight win Friday night in Greenville, riding
a strong start from lefty Kevin Canelon and a balanced offensive attack.
Canelon fell behind in the count way too often in this start, but he made up
for it with some swing-and-miss stuff, finishing with 15 swinging strikes
induced over his 6 innings of work. After exploding for 13 runs in the series
opener, Columbia’s offense took awhile to get going Friday night, but the floodgates
opened once they got to the Drive’s pen. The teams were tied heading to the 9th
when Dash Winningham sparked a two-run rally with a leadoff single. Tyler
Bashlor came on for the save in the bottom half of the frame and struck out two
while working around a double.
Canelon
was also pretty sharp in his first start of the year, which I caught
on MiLB.tv, but he struggled in his second start. His fastball topped out
in the upper 80’s again, which gives you an idea of the small margin of error
he has to work with. When he wasn’t striking out Drive batters Friday night, he
was inducing fly outs to center fielder Ivan Wilson, who had a very busy night
in the field. Johnny Magliozzi ran into two out trouble in the 7th inning,
which allowed Greenville to tie the game up at 3. He’d work around a leadoff
double in the 8th to keep the game tied heading to the final frame.
Bashlor was throwing bullets in the 9th, as you can see at the
bottom of the page. ;)
Check
out highlights from the game below. This series continues Saturday evening in
Greenville, with Tyler Badamo the scheduled starter for the 7:05 PM game.
Scoring Highlights
After
four hits Thursday night, Vinny Siena started his Friday with a hit into LF,
but he’d be thrown out trying to extend it to a double.
Milton
Ramos got the Fireflies first rally going with a leadoff walk in the 6th
inning. Siena kept the inning alive with a two out walk. Joe Tuschak followed
with a single to load the bases, and then David Thompson provided the big hit
with a two run double to LF.
Jeff
Diehl led off the 7th inning with a solo shot to give Columbia their
first lead at 3-2.
Tucker
Tharp picked up his double leading off the 8th, but he’d be stranded
at 2B after three air outs.
Dash
Winningham picked up his first hit of the night leading off the 9th,
sparking the Fireflies game-winning rally. Just activated Vicente Lupo was
brought in to pinch-run for Dash, and he’d score from 2B on a sac bunt/E1 when
the pitcher threw the ball away. Ramos added a big insurance run with an RBI
single lined into CF.
Defensive Highlights
Milton
Ramos started an inning ending 6-4-3 double play in the 8th inning,
putting an end to the Greenville threat.

Canelon
worked around a one out triple from Chad De La Guerra in the 1st
inning. A leadoff walk to Tate Matheny would come back to burn him in the 2nd
inning. After Canelon struckout Austin Rei for the first out of the frame,
Matheny stole 2B and then scored on a Kyri Wasington RBI single.
Canelon
worked a perfect 3rd inning, striking out Trent Kemp to start the
frame.
Josh
Ockimey broke a streak of 5-straight set down by Canelon with a solo blast in
the 4th inning, but then Canelon retired the next two, finished the
frame with another strikeout of Rei.
Canelon
got revenge on Washington by setting him down swinging to lead off the 5th
inning.
He
finished his night with a perfect 6th, striking out De La Guerra and
Ockimey along the way.
Bonus
Johnny Magliozzi’s strikeout of Rei:
Tyler Bashlor
Bashlor
came in to close out the game in the 9th, and he’d strikeout Rei (not
shown) and Trent Kemp while throwing a scoreless frame.
