Recap
Sand
Gnats starter Casey Delgado ran into a very hot and talented Greenville Drive
lineup Sunday evening, and he couldn’t contain them enough for Savannah’s
offense to pull ahead. The Drive would pounce on Delgado for three runs in the
1st inning thanks to a homerun and 3 singles, but then Delgado
settled down and pitched much better the rest of the way. Unfortunately, Dedgar
Jimenez was very sharp for Greenville over the first 4.1 innings, and Jamie
Callahan was very sharp for Greenville over the last 4.1 innings. It was after
that first out in the 5th inning that Savannah’s offense came to
life for four runs on 5 hits to tie the game. But Greenville would connect for
two doubles to jump back in front in the 6th inning, and neither
side threatened much after that.
Check
out the scoring details and game highlights (offense from both sides) below.
This series and the SAL season wraps up Monday, with Chris Flexen (4-0, 1.45
ERA) scheduled to pitch for Savannah opposite Jalen Beeks (9-6, 4.35 ERA) at
2:05 PM.
Michael
Chavis got the scoring started for Greenville with a solo blast in the 1st
inning. Rafael Devers, Andrew Benintendi, and Danny Mars followed with three
straight singles for two more runs, which gave the Drive an early 3-0 lead.
Benintendi
led off the 4th inning with a double for the Drive, and then Mars
singled him home.
John
Mora sparked the Sand Gnats big rally with a one out single in the 5th
inning. After J.C. Rodriguez reached on a single of his own, a groundout from
Tyler Moore moved them both into scoring position. Vicente Lupo followed with
his second hit of the game to get Savannah on the board, and it was the first
of three straight RBI hits for the Sand Gnats. Joe Tuschak followed with an RBI
double to RF, and then Jonathan Johnson singled home two runs to tie the game
at 4.
Benintendi
and Guerra would both double to plate a run for Greenville in the 6th
inning, giving the Drive the 5-4 lead they would win by. Yoan Moncada added a
pair of singles in this game.
Defensive Highlights
Luis
Guillorme handled a pair of groundouts easily enough early in the game, and
then was the middleman of an inning ending double play in the 8th
inning.
