Recapish


            The Columbia Fireflies stormed ahead early Tuesday night but barely held on for an 11-10 win in game two against Charleston. Luis Carpio and Ian Strom led the charge offensively as the Fireflies jumped out to an 11-0 lead through five, but Cola starter Gabriel Llanes struggled in the 6th, which opened the floodgates for Charleston. The River Dogs would score eight in the 6th and two more in the 9th to make this a one run game, but new Cola closer Matt Pobereyko was able to hold on for his second save of the season.
            Before the Charleston offensive explosion in the 6th, Gabriel Llanes was actually having a very good outing. He walked two over the first five innings – they’ve been a problem for him in the second half – but limited Charleston to two singles and a double, and faced little trouble. The Dogs biggest threat against Llanes over the first five innings came during the 3rd, when they got a runner to third base with two outs. Llanes responded by striking out three in a row and retiring seven of eight overall.

            While Llanes was cruising early, his teammates were building up a big lead, and they’d need every run of it. They started the 2nd inning with three straight hits: Natanael Ramos singled, Colby Woodmansee doubled him to third, and then Ian Strom doubled them both home. Strom came around to score two batters later on a Vinny Siena RBI single, and Jacob Zanon capped the scoring in the frame with an RBI single to bring home Siena three batters after that. Arnaldo Berrios reached on a strikeout/wild pitch in the frame and later came home on a wild pitch.

            Strom got the 3rd inning rally started with his second double of the game, and this time he was the one advancing Ramos (HBP) to third base. Berrios reached on a single in this frame, and his single brought home both Ramos and Strom to make it 7-0. Berrios stole second base in the frame but was able to trot home on Luis Carpio’s first bomb of the season – it was Carpio’s first homer since 8/11/14 in the DSL. Jacob Zanon and Dan Rizzie added singles in the frame, but the Fireflies magic ran out after that.

            Columbia added that key eleventh insurance run in the 5th. Carpio got the frame started with his third triple of the season, although he just missed a two-homer night, and came around on Dan Rizzie’s fifth double since joining Columbia.

            Llanes struck out Donny Sands with a runner on first base for the first out of the 6th, but then everything went downhill for Columbia after that. Isiam Gilliam took Llanes deep for the Dogs first runs of the game and then connected on a two run double later in the frame. Carlos Vidal also hit a two run double during the frame, as the River Dogs sent thirteen men to the plate and made this an 11-8 game. Adam Atkins came into a bases loaded situation and allowed all three runners to score before finishing the frame with a strikeout. Only Dermis Garcia failed to reach base at least once for Charleston during the frame, as he finished 0-2.

            The Fireflies did manage three hits after the 5th, but couldn’t add on. Ramos doubled and Ian Strom reached on an infield hit in the 8th, and then Zanon singled in the 9th.

            After failing to strand any inherited base runners in the 6th, Adam Atkins was sent back out for the 7th and made quick work of the River Dogs. Jose Leger stayed with his funky right-hander for the 8th and Atkins rewarded his Manager with another scoreless frame. In total, Atkins finished with four strikeouts as he lowered his ERA to 0.66. He’s at 26 K: 5 BB in 27.1 IP for the Fireflies (103 batter’s faced), with just 20 hits allowed for a .502 OPS against.

            Cola closer Matt Pobereyko came out for his third save opportunity in the 9th and he was able to convert for a second time, although not without some drama. Dermis Garcia showed why he’s such a highly regarded when he took Pobereyko deep to center and off the batter’s eye. Pobereyko struck out two in the frame but the second reached on a wild pitch – that’s the fourth time in the last two games between these two teams. The River Dogs were able to get that runner around to make it a one-run game, but then Pobereyko shut the door for a Cola win.
