Recapish
After
a week plus of frustrations batting with runner’s in scoring position, the
Columbia Fireflies broke out in a huge way Wednesday afternoon, finishing 10-25
in those situations en route to a 16-2 win over the Lexington Legends. Chase
Ingram was strong over six innings in his (unexpected and hopefully short)
return to the Fireflies rotation Wednesday, but the story was clearly the
offense, which set a Fireflies franchise record with the 16 runs. Dan Rizzie
led the hit party with five, Jay Jabs went deep and finished with four runs
batted in, while 18-year old shortstop Andres Gimenez reached base four times
from the leadoff spot.
Gimenez
started the game by taking four straight balls for a walk. Gimenez advanced to
third on a hit’n’run single off the bat of Jacob Zanon, and then came home on
an E3 to make it 1-0 before an out was recorded. Rizzie started his big day
with an RBI single in the 1st to double the lead.

Ingram
was low-90’s with his heater and mixed in some nice breakers, but his secondary
stuff wasn’t at its sharpest. He’s working his way back from an injury that
limited him to one four-inning start with St. Lucie in April, so hopefully he
can stay healthy and prove he belongs in the Florida State League for the final
month of the season. He struck out 132 batters in 131 IP last year, and is one
of several starting prospects in the system that lost time to injury in the first half of
2017.
Ingram
started his outing with a strikeout of Khalil Lee, and later added another of
Joe Dudek during a scoreless 1st. He worked around an error for a
scoreless 2nd and then had his only perfect frame in the 3rd.
Ingram started the 4th with another strikeout of Dudek, but the
Legends would scratch out a run on three singles against him in the frame. He
finished his outing with two strikeouts during a scoreless 5th. (Feed was a little spotty early for me even on the archive)

Colby
Woodmansee has been hitting into some poor luck recently, as his hard hit
liners have been at-em balls. He finished with two hits Wednesday, including
one in the 2nd, so hopefully this can get his bat going again.
Woodmansee came around to score on Gimenez’s sixth double of the season.

The
first five Fireflies batters reached safely in the 3rd as the Cola
lead ballooned to 7-0. Zanon, Dash Winningham, and Rizzie provided the only
hits during the frame, and all three hits were singles.

The
big 4th inning rally was a little more standard. Gimenez sparked the
rally with a single, although Zanon would replace him on the bases after a fielder’s
choice. Lindsay and Carpio also singled in the frame, but the big hits were an
RBI double off the bat of Dan Rizzie, and a three run homer off the bat of Jay
Jabs. The Jabs homer was his fifth of the season and made this a 12-0 game.

Berrios led off the 5th with a single and Rizzie singled in the 6th,
but the Intimidators were able to hold them in check for a couple of frames.

Joe
Zanghi took over for Ingram in the 6th and contributed two scoreless
innings of relief. He struck out a pair and is up to 44 K: 18 BB over 38.2 IP
this year.

The
Cola bats had one last rally in them for the 7th, and it was
actually the first time they sent even nine men to the plate in the game.
Woodmansee worked a walk to get the rally started, went to third on an errant throw,
and then came home on Gimenez’s third hit of the game. Dash came up with two in
scoring position three batters later and connected for a single into CF to
bring home another run. The scoring was finally capped when Luis Carpio lined a
single to RF to make this a 16-1 game.

Matt
Pobereyko came out of the pen to finish the final two innings for Columbia. He added
three strikeouts to his ridiculous early tally, but allowed a double to the
first batter he saw in the 8th, and the Legends were able to get
that runner home to make it 16-2. Also shown below are the final two Cola hits, from Woodmansee and Rizzie

Looking
ahead, the Fireflies will send Blake Taylor (1-9, 4.92 ERA) to the hill in
Lexington as they look to make it three straight wins Thursday night at 7:05
PM.
