Recapish


            The Columbia Fireflies dropped their second straight at home Friday night, losing 6-2 to the visiting Hagerstown Suns. The Suns have used a patient approach to wait out Columbia’s starters the past two days, which has led to a pair of big early leads for the visitors.
            Ingram worked a quick 1st inning, but things got progressively worse over the next 2+ frames. He finished having allowed 1 single to every Hagerstown batters, 5 of which came on groundballs, and 3 walks issued. A walk started the Suns rally in both the 2nd and 3rd innings, with both baserunners coming around to score. Ingram would be removed with a runner on 2B and one out in the 4th.
            Seth Davis took over for Ingram and had a great outing over nearly 4 innings. He finished with 7 K’s and a ridiculous 51.7% Whiff/Swing rate while limiting Hagerstown to just 3 baserunners. Craig Missigman kept the strong relief-pitching going over the final 2 innings, and he was a strike-throwing machine out there.
            Thanks to a great effort from the pen, Columbia had the chance to come back in this one, but the offense really couldn’t get anything going. Kevin Kaczmarski reached in his first 2 AB’s, but no other Fireflies batter had a hit until J.C. Rodriguez’s infield single in the 7th. That hit opened the door for their only rally, which was capped by a Milton Ramos RBI single into LF.
            I break down the scoring details with highlights below, and include some positive Chase Ingram highlights at the bottom, so enjoy! This series wraps up Saturday night at 7:05 PM, with P.J. Conlon (7-1, 1.42 ERA) scheduled to start for Columbia.

            The Fireflies finally broke through in the 7th, scoring a pair of runs on 3 hits. J.C. Rodriguez sparked the rally with a leadoff single, went to 3B on David Thompson’s 16th double of the year, and then scored on a Pat Mazeika groundout. Milton Ramos added a two out RBI single in the frame.
