Recapish


            The Columbia Fireflies offense saved the fireworks for after the home finale Thursday night, putting up a goose egg during the game against Asheville for a third straight loss to the Tourists. Cola starter Darwin Ramos fell behind early and left down 4-0 after six innings, but even a great outing from him would’ve needed some run support. Logan Longwith gave the Tourists a very good outing, taking the shutout into the 7th with just five base runners allowed without the aid of an error.
            The Cola lineup has struggled to find consistent production recently, as some of the top second-half performers earned late-season promotions to St. Lucie, plus Gene Cone and Dash Winningham haven’t been up to full speed since coming off the DL. Even with the benefit of three Tourists errors, the Fireflies didn’t have many scoring opportunities in this one, and they finished 0-6 with runners in scoring position.
            All four Cola hits were singles, and they came from: Quinn Brodey in the 1st, Oliver Pascual in the 5th, Reed Gamache in the 7th, and then Jay Jabs leading off the 9th.

            On the pitching side, a barrage of singles did in Cola starter Darwin Ramos. Ramos allowed singles to the first two Tourists batters of the game and both came around to score and give Asheville a 2-0 lead before the Fireflies even came to the plate. The Tourists doubled their lead with three more singles in a two-run 4th. Manuel Melendez came through with the two-out single for both RBI’s in the frame.
