Recapish
The
Columbia Fireflies wrapped up a three-game sweep in Greenville Wednesday night
with the help of top Mets pitching prospect David Peterson, who was making his
2018 and Fireflies debut. Peterson was in control over six strong innings,
allowing just the one run while working around three Cola errors behind him.
Meanwhile, the Fireflies bats stayed hot in Greenville, scoring at least seven
runs for a third straight game against the Drive. In total, the Fireflies
scored 22 runs on 33 hits and 15 walks in this series, while the pitching staff
limited the drive to 10 runs on 25 hits, with 41 K: 12 BB.
David
Peterson was held back in extended spring training this year due to some minor
ailment that the Mets have been mostly quiet about. Hopefully it’s nothing
serious, because this was a promising start that he can definitely build on
moving forward. Peterson started his season with a strikeout and faced the
minimum in the 1st thanks to a 1-4-3 double play.

The
Fireflies then put a three-spot on the board in the 2nd to give him
a lead to work with. Jeremy Vasquez sparked the rally with a leadoff single,
but he was replaced on the bases after a force out. Walter Rasquin came through
with the first RBI hit of the game, singling home Quinn Brodey to put Columbia
on the board. Raphael Gladu followed with a two-run single to make this a 3-0
game.

Cola
added another run in the 3rd. Matt Winaker was struck by a pitch,
went to second on Vasquez’s second hit, and then came home on a Rigoberto
Terrazas RBI single.

Peterson
started the 3rd with a strikeout of Ramfis Berroa and worked around
the first Cola error of the game for a scoreless inning. He then retired the
first two batters in the 4th before running into some two-out
trouble. Peterson walked Everlouis Lozada and then gave up back-to-back hits as
the Drive got on the board. Berroa provided the RBI hit with a double to make
this a 4-1 game.

connected on his third hit of the game in the 5th.
Charlie
Madden led off the bottom of the 5th with a single to right field,
but Peterson faced the minimum in the frame thanks to his third strikeout and a
3-6-1 double play. Peterson was involved in both double plays turned while he
was on the mound, starting the first and covering first to finish the
second.

| 3-6-1 double play |
The
Fireflies extended their lead with a run on some two-out hits in the 6th.
Gladu kept the inning alive with a triple and then Dan rizzie singled him home
to make it 5-1.

The
Drive were gifted a good chance to battle back some in the bottom of the 6th
after two Cola errors, but Greenville went 0-5 with a strikeout against
Peterson in the frame. It was an impressive inning from Peterson, who started
it with a strikeout, induced a popout (which was dropped for an error), and
then induced three straight weak grounders to end the threat.

Cannon
Chadwick took over for Peterson in the 7th but only retired one
batter in the frame. He got the first batter to fly out, then issued a walk
before allowing three straight hits for three runs. Carlos Hernandez took over
for Chadwick with the Cola lead down to 5-4 and the slim righty worked out of
the jam to keep the Fireflies on top. Hernandez got the second out on a pop up
and then finished the frame with a 10-pitch strikeout of Victor Acosta.

| K #1 |
Quinn
Brodey left his mark on this game over the final two innings. He led off the 8th
with a solo blast and then hit a two-run blast in the 9th. Rigo (not shown) and
Rizzie also singled in the 8th, but the Fireflies left the bases
loaded in the frame. Walter Rasquin thought he had a bunt single in the 8th,
but he was ruled out on batter interference. Rasquin then reached on an infield
single in the 9th.

Despite
throwing 20+ pitches in the 7th, Carlos Hernandez was sent back out
for the 8th and quickly struck out the side. It’s only been a few
appearances, but Hernandez is already up to 11 K: 2 BB with just 1 hit allowed
over 5.2 IP.

Stephen
Villines pushed the Cola strikeout streak to six straight when he struck out
the first two batters of the 9th, and then he finished the game with
another strikeout after allowing a two-out single. It was the second straight
night Villines struck out three in the 9th for Columbia, which is both
impressive and not something you’ll often see in A-ball. After a rough couple
of outings to start the year, Villines now has 11 K: 0 BB with just 1 hit
allowed over his last 5.1 IP.

Looking
ahead, the Fireflies have a chance to push their win streak to five straight
Thursday against Hickory. Tony Dibrell is expected to make the home start for
Columbia, with game time scheduled for 7:05 PM.
