Recapish
The
Columbia Fireflies dropped their second straight to Kannapolis Friday night,
taking a 5-4 loss to fall to 0-2 in the second half. Both starters allowed
three runs in the 1st inning before settling in for relatively
strong outings. The Intimidators would have one more two-batter scoring outburst
against Fireflies starter Harol Gonzalez in the 5th, and that proved
to be the difference in this one. Luis Carpio finished with three hits,
including an RBI triple, but the rest of Columbia’s lineup scattered just four
singles throughout the game.
Kannapolis
jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the 1st thanks to an onslaught of
singles. It wasn’t a lot of hard contact, and Harol did strikeout two batters
in the frame (Aaron Schnurbusch and Casey Schroeder), but it still was five
singles and a wild pitch in one frame.

The
Fireflies were quick to get those runs back in their half of the 1st,
and they needed just one hit to get it done. Luis Carpio tripled home Andres
Gimenez (HBP) for the first Cola run of the game, and the next two runs came
home on a throwing error. Kannapolis starter Bernard Flores is the Chicago
White Sox 19th
ranked prospect, and he picked up his first three strikeouts of the game in
the 1st.

Columbia
turned a double play behind Harol G in the 2nd to erase a leadoff
walk (and some swinging strikes are in this section).
Flores
made it six of seven batters down swinging when he struck out the side in the 2nd. His final strikeout came against Tim Tebow in the 4th and is also shown below. All six pitches from the two Tebow strikeouts are shown, and if this is what it looks like when Tebow faces one of the better SAL lefties in the game, how do you think he would fare against good major league pitching?

Harol
G made it five straight retired with a perfect 3rd inning (some swinging strikes shown below too).

| Ramos at third |
Carpio
singled leading off the 3rd inning for Columbia, but then speedy
Jacob Zanon hit a double play grounder to third.
The
Intimidators threatened but couldn’t score in the 4th (single/E7 and
a walk), so the game was still tied at three when the heart of the Kannapolis
lineup came up in the 5th. Schnurbusch got his revenge against Harol
with one out in the inning when he tripled to right center field. Micker Adolfo
followed by launching a hanger from Harol to deep left center field to make
this a 5-3 game.

The
bottom of the 5th was the first inning Columbia managed two hits in
the same frame. Unfortunately, a double play grounder separated the two singles
from Milton Ramos and Carpio.

Harol
G finished his outing by facing the minimum in the 6th, which was made
possible by an inning ending double play. Grant Massey struck out swinging to
start the frame.

| K #3 |
Columbia
couldn’t scratch out even a single run after stringing together three straight
singles leading off the bottom of the 6th. Dash Winnigham, Brandon
Brosher, and Ali Sanchez connected for the singles, but Dash was thrown out
trying to score on the Sanchez hit.

Taylor
Henry was the first reliever out of Columbia’s pen Friday night and he tossed two
scoreless innings. Henry struck out Schroeder swinging during the 8th
for his only K.
 |
| Carpio at second |
The
Intimidators are so intimidating, they don’t mind giving away runs because they
know the opposition is too intimidated to score on their own. Zanon worked a
leadoff walk in the 8th, stole secon, went to third on a throwing
error from the catcher, and then scored on a wild pitch.
Cameron
Griffin finished the game off for Columbia with a scoreless 9th,
striking out Adolfo along the way.
The Fireflies went down quietly in the final frame of the game. After dropping two straight, Columbia turns to top-prospect Thomas Szapucki (1-1, 3.86 ERA) Saturday as they look to get back on track. Game time is scheduled for 7:05 PM.
