Recapish


            The Columbia Fireflies have been clicking at all levels lately and their good play continued in a double-header with the Charleston River Dogs on Saturday. The Fireflies took game one 5-3 on the back of another dominant performance from Jordan Humphreys. Humphreys matched a season low with just four strikeouts, but he took a shutout into the 6th and was missing bats at a solid rate throughout the start. The Fireflies supported him with a five-run 3rd inning, which was highlighted by Dash Winningham’s tenth homer of the year – his fifth homer of June!
            Humphreys allowed six hits in the game, but the first five were just singles scattered over the first five innings. He finished the 1st with a strikeout of Estevan Florial.

            Mandy Alvarez went down swinging against Humphreys to start the 2nd and then Dalton Blaser grounded into a double play to end the frame – Humphreys issued just his eighth walk of the season between those two batters.

Carpio at second

            The Fireflies finally broke through for some hits in the 4th. Andres Gimenez finished 2-2 in the frame and got things going with a single into CF. He was able to trot around and score on the Dash homer, which put Cola up 2-0. Luis Carpio started a two out rally for Columbia two batters later with a single. He went to third on a Brandon Brosher double and then scored on a balk. Brosher came home on an E6, but the Fireflies weren’t done year. Gene Cone followed with a walk against River Dogs starter Jio Orozco, which was the end of the rope for him – Orozco had allowed nothing but a HBP over the first three innings. After the new pitcher took over, Andres Gimenez came up for the second time and surprised the River Dogs with an RBI bunt single to make it 5-0.

            He started the 6th with a strikeout of Hoy Jun Park but then Florial took him deep to end the shutout bid.

            The Fireflies only hit outside of the 4th came when Gimenez singled with two outs in the 6th.


            Joseph Zanghi took over for the 7th inning and had trouble with command. He walked four in the frame and had to leave with the lead down to 5-3. Fortunately, Taylor Henry came in and struck out Brandon Wagner in a bases loaded situation to end the game.

            These two suited up for another seven innings thirty minutes after this game ended. One of the top Mets pitching prospects Thomas Szapucki made his second start of the year.
