Recapish


            Columbia locals were treated to a preview of the SAL All-Star game Friday night, as the expected starters P.J. Conlon and Mitch Keller squared up for their penultimate starts of the first half. Conlon outpitched Keller, taking a shutout into the 7th as his teammates gave him a 4-0 lead.
            For the second straight night, the Fireflies bats came out ready to go, and they would build up their lead early. Also for the second straight night, Vinny Siena scored before an out was recorded on an RBI single from Kevin Kaczmarski. Siena and Kacz both tripled into the RF corner during the game with help from the Power right fielder, who was having trouble with the side walls over there. Thompson also doubled into the RF corner for his 20th double of the season in his 49th game, which is just 7 shy of the top total posted by a Sand Gnats player last season, when Wuilmer Becerra had 27 in 118 games.
            Conlon faced the minimum over the first 3 and rarely had to work from the stretch over the first 6 innings. It wasn’t until there were two outs in the 7th that the Power broke through against Conlon, knocking him out of the game on back-to-back RBI hits from Tyler Filliben and former Cyclones teammate Alfredo Reyes.
            Craig Missigman took over for Conlon with two on in the 7th and struck out Logan Ratledge to end the threat. Apparently Conlon was pacing in the dugout as Missigman set to cleaning up his mess, and then first in line waiting to say congrats to Missigman after the reliever finished the job. Missigman issued a pair of walks in the 8th, which prompted Alex Palsha to get up a little earlier than expected, but a 643 double play ended any threat before a pitching change was needed. Palsha worked a perfect 9th, although he had some help from Siena and Kacz, as you can see below.
            I break the scoring details down below with highlights, so enjoy! This series continues Saturday night at 7:05 PM, with Gaby Almonte set to make his season debut for the Fireflies. Almonte is a 23-year old righty from the DR who was a NYPL All-Star with Brooklyn last year, and who wasn’t overmatched in his only SAL start of 2015. He doesn’t have much of a fastball, topping out around 90 MPH, but his breaking ball has been an effective pitch when he can control it.


MiLB.tv Scoring Highlights


            Vinny Siena led off the bottom of the 1st with a triple and was brought home quickly thanks to a single from Kevin Kaczmarski – these two combined for a run in the 1st last night too.



            Siena sparked the 3rd inning rally too, this time with a leadoff single. Kaczmarski would follow with a walk this time, and both eventually came around to score on David Thompson’s 20th double of the season.




            Ivan Wilson doubled with two outs in the 4th inning but would be thrown out trying to extend the hit into a triple.


            Kavin Kaczmarski made it to 3B with a triple in the 5th inning, and then he came home on a wild pitch.


            Dash Winningham picked up his 17th double of the season with one out in the 6th inning.


            Kaczmarski finished his perfect night at the plate with a single in the 7th.



MiLB.tv Defensive Highlights


            J.C. Rodriguez made a nice play on a grounder down the line to end the 1st inning. he also handled a hot shot nicely in the 3rd and started a double play in the 8th.




            Milton Ramos started a 6-4-3 double play that ended the 2nd inning.


            P.J. Conlon handled a bunt attempt nicely in the 6th inning.


            Vinny Siena and Kevin Kaczmarski made nice plays consecutively behind Alex Palsha to start the 9th inning.
