Recapish
P.J.
Conlon was at his Double-A best Saturday night in New Hampshire, tossing a
one-hit shutout as the Rumble Ponies blew out the Fisher Cats in game two of
their double-header. Since minor league double-headers only go 7 innings, this
also counts as Conlon’s first complete game in the minors, although he actually
lasted
10 innings during one outing for the Columbia Fireflies last year without
factoring in the decision.
Conlon allowed just a leadoff
single in the 3rd and a two out walk in the 7th, striking
out 8 of 14 batters in between those two base runners, and retiring the other 6
in short order too. He got away with a few breakers left up, but was otherwise
inducing weak contact (or no contact) all night, just like he did in the SAL
last year. If he’s about to go on a run like that, then he could be pitching in
the majors by the end of the year. That’s both a reflection on Conlon and the
state of the Mets starting staff.
Conlon
picked up just one strikeout over the first 3 innings, when he set down Emilio
Guerrero swinging to end the 2nd.
David
Thompson had a nice 3rd inning, leading off the top half with the
games first hit, picking up his third stolen base of the year, and ending the
bottom half with a nice play at third base.
Tomas
Nido picked up his first of two hits in the nightcap when he singled in the 4th.
The
strikeout streak for Conlon really started in the bottom of the 4th,
when Raffy Lopez went down swinging for the second out of the frame. Starting
with Lopez, Conlon would strikeout 8 of 10 Fisher Cats batters before issuing
the 7th inning walk. He finished the 4th with a strikeout
of Ryan McBroom.
The
Rumble Ponies broke the game open in the 5th, scoring 4 runs on 2
hits, which was more than enough for Conlon. Jio Mier picked up the first hit,
and knocked in the games first run, with an RBI single to LF. After Cats
reliever Alonzo Gonzalez loaded the bases in the frame, Justin Shafer was
called upon to face Kevin Kaczmarski. Kacz was sitting dead red and punished
the first pitch he saw for a bases clearing triple.
Guerrero
went down swinging again in the 5th.
Cody
Decker made it 6-0 and the Rumble Ponies took advantage of another walk when he
went deep for the third time this year in the 6th.
At
this point, Conlon struck out the side in the 6th and then the first
two batters of the 7th, putting an exclamation point on the start
for anyone still watching (~20 people in the stadium by the time it was over).
The
Rumble Ponies also used the 7th to put an exclamation on their
offensive outburst. Patrick Biondi singled, Tomas Nido ripped a double into the
left center gap, and then both came home on a Kevin Taylor single to make it
8-0. David Thompson added a sac fly to make it a final score of 9-0.
After
splitting the double-header behind one great start apiece, these two teams wrap
up their series Sunday afternoon at 1:35 PM.
