Recapish
After
taking the opener in a blowout Tuesday night, the Columbia Fireflies had the
tables turned on them in game two Wednesday as the Greenville Drive evened the
series with a 16-5 win. Cola starter Martin Anderson had one of the weirdest
final lines you’ll see, as he allowed eight unearned runs in the 2nd
and still stuck around to toss three scoreless innings after that. The
Fireflies offense was quiet for most of the game but they did manage to put a
pair of crooked numbers on the board late, which kept the deficit from getting
too far out of hand.
The
Fireflies had just two hits over the first five innings, and they were both
singles off the bat of J.J. Franco.
With
all the injuries to pitchers throughout the Mets system, a guy like Marty
Anderson has the chance to get some attention as a prospect. While he’s had his
struggles in individual innings, Anderson has shown that he can at least be a
useful org. LOOGY, so I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s in St. Lucie’s pen next
year. He works quickly, locates his four seamer nicely when going right, and
mixes in a slurve that’ll at least be tough on lefties.
The
first two Drive batters reached on singles to put runners on the corners
against Anderson in the 1st. He recovered to retire the next three
Greenville batters, striking out Bobby Dalbec and Ryan Scott along the way, but
the Drive still jumped ahead 1-0 in the frame thanks to a double steal with two
outs.

The
first two Drive batters reached on errors against Anderson in the 2nd,
and then things snowballed. Anderson did
strikeout a pair of batters in the frame, but he also walked one, hit another,
allowed four singles, and Ryan Scott capped the scoring with a grand slam
against him. Despite all of that, the Fireflies had to leave him in because the
pen has been so overworked lately.

Anderson
went back out for the 3rd and soon found himself in trouble, but
he’d recover to strand two runners in scoring position thanks to back-to-back
strikeouts of Dalbec and Roldani Baldwin. His final two innings of work were
less eventful, and Anderson finished his outing with another strikeout of
Dalbec to end the 5th.

Since
Columbia errors opened the door for Greenville’s biggest frame, it seems only
fitting that a Greenville error opens the door for Columbia’s biggest frame.
Gene Cone reached on the E4, went to second when Andres Gimenez was hit by a
pitch, to third when Franco coaxed a walk, and then scored on Ian Strom’s hit.
Dash Winningham followed with a two-run double to make this a 9-3 game, but
Strom was thrown out trying to score on the frame.

Matt
Pobereyko took over for Anderson in the 6th and his outing followed
a similar pattern. Pobereyko allowed a run in his first inning – Baldwin went
deep for the fourteenth time in 2017 – and then a Cola error opened the door
for a big Drive rally in his second inning of work. Pobereyo’s main highlight
was a strikeout of Jagger Rusconi from the 6th.
Matt
Blackham was called in to finish the 7th for Pobereyko and he
quickly struck out Baldwin for the second out of the frame. Unfortunately, he
couldn’t strand an inherited runner at second before escaping the jam, so the
Drive lead stood at 14-3 after seven innings.
Strom
doubled for Columbia in the top of the 8th. Because the Cola pen has
been so overworked lately, Brandon Brosher was asked to take over on the mound
for the bottom of the 8th. He hit 90 MPH and struck out Mitchell
Gunsolus, but the Drive were able to add on another pair of runs.

With
the game well out of reach, Columbia put together a pointless rally in the
bottom of the 9th. Brosher led off the frame with a single, went to
third on a Jay Jabs double, and then scored on a groundout. Jabs came home on a
sac fly to pull Columbia within 11 runs…

Looking
ahead, the Fireflies will turn to Justin Brantley in the rubber match on
Thursday night.
