Recapish
The
Columbia Fireflies were outhit by a large margin Tuesday night in Rome, but
it’s the final score that matters, and they finished ahead 4-3 for a second
straight win. Cola starter Kevin Canelon allowed most of those Rome hits and
all of their runs, but he and then pen combined to do just enough for the win.
The
Braves struck first when Carlos Castro led off the 2nd inning with a
solo blast to CF. The homerun was Castro’s first of the year and it would be
the only extra base hit for Rome in the game. They made it 2-0 on Austin
Riley’s RBI single with two outs in the 3rd inning.
The
Fireflies then turned this game around with 4 runs over their next two trips to
the plate, which you can read about and watch in the highlights section below!
After
allowing the hit to Riley in the 3rd, Canelon settled in to retired
9 of the next 10 batters, which took him to the end of the 6th. He was
off the mound by the time the final run was charged to him in the 7th
inning, as Christian Montgomery had taken over. Monty stranded the bases loaded
in the 7th, ending the Rome threat with a strikeout of Austin Riley.
Alex
Palsha would take over for Montgomery when walks got him into the trouble
during the 8th inning. Palsha stayed on for the 9th and
picked up his seventh save of the year, which is fourth most in the SAL.
This
series wraps up with a matinee Wednesday. Tyler Badamo (2-3, 3.47 ERA) is
scheduled to make the 1 PM start for Columbia, and the Fireflies will have the
brooms ready in Rome.
MiLB.tv Scoring Highlights
With
Rome’s assistance, David Thompson manufactured the Fireflies first run of the
game. He worked a two out walk against Touki, stole 2B, went to 3B on Jonathan
Moreles’ throwing error, and then scored on Austin Riley’s throwing error.
Just
like Monday, the Fireflies won this game on the back of a big inning, though
this time it would be during the 5th. Dash Winningham sparked the
rally with a leadoff walk, though he’d be forced out at 3B two batters later.
With two outs in the frame, Vinny Siena worked a walk to load the bases for
Kevin Kaczmarski, and he yanked the game changing double into right center
field.
Dash
Winningham picked up his first triple of the year lead off the 7th
inning, but the next 3 Cola batters went down on K’s to strand him at 3B.
