Recapish


            The Columbia Fireflies snapped a three-game skid Tuesday night against the River Dogs, taking the middle game of their series 4-3 behind another strong start from Kevin Canelon. Canelon went a season-high 8 IP, and still hasn’t allowed more than 3 ER in any of his 15 starts this season.
            Canelon started out strong, striking out the side in the 1st and working a perfect 2nd. Jeff Diehl handed him a 1-0 lead when he went deep with two outs in the 2nd. It was Diehl’s 9th homer of the season, when his previous career high for a season was 5.
            The River Dogs struck back with three in the 3rd. Alexander Palma started the rally with a leadoff triple, and Gosuke Katoh capped it with a two-run triple of his own. Katoh stood at third base with just one out in the inning when the Fireflies turned a line out into the unusual 3-5 double play to end the threat.
            Suddenly down 3-1, Columbia wasted little time tying this game up. After three straight singles led to a run that cut the lead in half, Kevin Kaczmarski brought home the tying run with a sac fly.
            With the game tied, the pitchers took over. Canelon needed just 48 pitches over his final 5 frames and might’ve been able to stay out there for a complete game. Milton Ramos reached on an error and stole 2B in the 5th, but came up from his headfirst slide in pain, and it looked like he jammed him left hand/wrist/forearm area into the ground on replay. He didn’t leave immediately, but Tyler Moore would take over for him in the next half inning.
            After missing a few opportunities to take the lead during the middle innings, Cola finally broke through in the 8th. Luis Ortega worked a walk leading off the frame and got into scoring position for Dash Winningham thanks to a wild pitch. Charleston put a big shift on against big Dash, and he made them pay for it by slapping a single through the left side for an easy RBI single.
            Tyler Bashlor took over for Canelon in the 9th and worked a perfect inning. He got some help from 8th inning hero Dash Winningham, who made a nice stop on consecutive plays to end the game. Check out those highlights, plus highlights from the Cola offense and Canelon’s start below. This series wraps up with a rubber game Wednesday night at 7:05 PM, as Bryce Beeler looks to continue his hot start to the 2016 season.



MiLB.tv Scoring Highlights


            Jeff Diehl hit a solo blast with two outs in the 2nd inning to get the Fireflies on the board. The inning would continue after Vicente Lupo walked and Natanael Ramos singled, but then Lupo was caught off 3B on a poor baserunning play to end the frame. Ramos had second base stolen since they weren’t throwing through, but Lupo was caught too far off third base.



            Milton Ramos, J.C. Rodriguez, and Luis Ortega hit consecutive singles for a run leading off the 3rd inning. Kevin Kaczmarski then tied the game with a sac fly.




            Natanael Ramos picked up his second double of the season in the 7th, and he stole third base in the frame, but was stranded there.



            Ortega led off the 8th with a walk, went to second base on a wild pitch, and then scored on Dash Winningham’s big hit.



MiLB.tv Defensive Highlights


            Vicente Lupo made a nice sliding catch in the 2nd inning.


            Dash Winningham starting a double play to help his starter out of the tough 3rd inning. The 6-4-3 double play turned also shown.



            Winningham showed off his moves in the 9th, making nice plays to his left and to his right.

            Canelon stumbled at the end, but he struck out the side in the 1st: Hoy Jun Park, Gosuke Katoh, and then Jeff Hendrix.








            Austin Afenir went down looking to end a perfect 4th from Canelon.


            KC then started the 5th with his fifth strikeout.


            Canelon’s final strikeout of the night came against Jeff Hendrix for the second out of a perfect 6th.





This is how fast he always works with the bases empty.
