Recapish


            After completing Saturday’s game in blowout fashion earlier in the day, the Columbia Fireflies offense left too many on base in game two, and fell 5-4 to Greenville on a late Drive run.
            Greenville took an early 2-0 lead thanks to a pair of triples in each of the first 2 innings. Columbia jumped ahead with three runs during a two out rally in the 3rd, but the Drive were quick to take the lead back against Shaw. The Fireflies would tie it up in the 4th, and that’s how the game stayed until the bottom of the 6th inning, when the Drive put together a two out rally of their own for the games final run.
            I break down the Fireflies scoring details with highlights below and have included a full Columbia pitchlog from iscorecast at the bottom, so enjoy. This series continues Monday night in Greenville, with Chase Ingram (2-2, 3.38 ERA) scheduled to pitch for the Fireflies and a 7:05 PM start


Scoring Highlights


            Kevin Kaczmarski singled into RF in his first AB off the DL. Unfortunately, Kacz would be thrown out trying to steal 2B right before Vinny Siena picked up his first hit of the game.



            After the first two Fireflies batters were retired in the 3rd, the next 6 reached safely. Kaczmarski (86 MPH Fastball), David Thompson (86 MPH Fastball), and Dash Winningham (86 MPH Fastball) doubled, while Siena and Jeffrey Diehl added singles. Ivan Wilson was the last Cola batter of the frame, and he’d put good wood on the ball in a bases loaded situation, but ended up lining out to LF.

Kevin Kaczmarski

Vinny Siena

David Thompson

Dash Winningham

Jeffrey Diehl

            Tyler Moore singled leading off the 4th and eventually came around to score, but Cola wasted another bases loaded opportunity in the frame. Moore came home on a bases loaded walk to Thompson.

            Milton Ramos added a 6th inning single to CF.



Defensive Highlights


            Milton Ramos made another nice play in the 4th inning.
