Wednesday night at the ballpark for game #2 of the series and the start of the ALPB's second half. On this night the visitors from York County scored in the first on an error before the homeboys tied it in the second on an RBI groundout by Anderson De La Rosa. In the third the Revolution tore the game open with an eight-spot, Nellie Rodriguez started it with a solo home run making it 2-1. From there the rally continued with an RBI hit from Osmy Gregorio (recently of the Tampa Bay Rays organization), a bases-loaded walk issued to Anthony Dundon (Marshall University product). a two-run double by James Harris and a three-run double by Jack Kenley. The Revs added single runs in the fifth on a Harris solo home run, the seventh on a Kenley RBI single and the eighth on a J.C. Encarnacion round tripper, LeDarious Clark went yard with a man on in the ninth for the Barnstormers bringing the final score to 12-3. Former Houston Astro property Austin Nicely worked eight innings for the win, Zach Smith (from the University of Southern Arkansas) made his first professional start and took the loss. On Thursday night the series ended with one of those roller-coaster rides we've become so familiar with. The Stormers broke on top in the first on an Alejandro De Aza RBI groundout and a Kelly Dugan base hit, three more were added in the second on a Blake Allemand single and a De Aza two-run double. The Revolution got three back in the third on a Rodriguez double and a Carlos Castro RBI hit, the third run scored on a double-play. In the home third the Stormers went up 9-3 on a wild pitch, a Caleb Gindl single and a two-run double from newcomer Jake Hoover (late of the Texas Rangers system). The lead was upped to 12-3 (sound familiar?) in the fourth on a Trayvon Robinson solo home run and RBI doubles from Anthony Peroni and Cleuluis Rondon. In the top of the fifth the Revs put together a eight-spot for the second consecutive night. A solo home run by Kenley started the uprising, that was followed by Rodriguez's two-run shot making it 12-6. A two-run single by Harris, a Kenley RBI double and a two-run hit from Melky Mesa brought the Revs to within one run but in the home fifth a two-run triple by Clark and Peroni's RBI hit gave the Stormers a 15-11 lead. Robinson went yard with a man on in the sixth to make it 17-11, in the visiting eight the game's final run was scored on Kenley's second home run of the night. The Revs used six pitchers and the Stormers used seven as the teams combined for twenty-nine runs and thirty-one base hits. Brent Teller was the winner in relief of starter Augie Sylk, former SF Giant property Eduardo Rivera took the loss. The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs visit on the weekend.
