Back at the ballpark on Wednesday night for game #2 with Lexington, after the madness we witnessed on Tuesday this night was rather mundane by comparison. The Barnstormers took a 3-0 lead in the third on a Kelly Dugan three-run homer, in the fifth they scored twice more. Alejandro de Aza started the inning with a base hit, after two were retired Devon Torrence reached on an error scoring De Aza. Anderson De La Rosa followed with an RBI single bringing Torrence home for a 5-0 lead. The visitors got three on the board in their half of the sixth inning, in the home half Blake Allemand singled and scored the evening's final run on a Trayvon Robinson RBI hit. Augie Sylk (who interestingly is the great-grandson of the legendary entertainer Bing Crosby) worked into the sixth inning for the win with relief from newcomer Cameron Gann (late of the Arizona Diamondbacks system), Gabriel Moya and Scott Shuman. In the rubber game on Thursday the Stormers again took an early lead, this time it was in the first inning. Allemand and Caleb Gindl drew back-to-back walks, consecutive base hits from De Aza (one RBI) and Dugan (two RBI) gave the Stormers a 3-0 advantage but from there it was just about all Lexington. The Legends matched the Stormers with three in the second and added three more in the third, a single run in the fourth and two more in the seventh made it 9-3. The Stormers scored in the eighth on a solo home run by Dugan but it mattered little, the final was 9-4. Dominic DiSabatino started and was clearly not at his best, he worked into the third inning and suffered the loss. The homestand continues with West Virginia visiting over the weekend. Take care, thanks for reading.
