Wednesday lunch in Quarryville, Jenny was feeling better but still not 100%. At the ballpark in the evening for game #2 with Lexington, the Barnstormers exploded for twelve runs in the first three innings and won handily 16-7. The Stormers batted through the lineup six times, leadoff hitter Melvin Mercedes had seven plate appearances. Joesph Carpenter had a huge night reaching base all six times up with a home run, two doubles, three runs scored and five runs batted in, he also walked twice and was hit by the pitch. Wilson Garcia was on base five times on two singles, a double, a walk and an error, he scored three runs and had two RBI. Anthony Peroni had a single, a double, a run scored and two RBI, Trayvon Robinson had two hits, scored a run and batted in two. Trace Loehr singled three times and picked up an RBI, Mercedes had two hits and scored twice from the leadoff spot. Yeison Coca and Andretty Cordero had a single, two runs scored and an RBI each, Shawan Dunston and Chad Sedio each had a base hit and a run scored. Nile Ball started and went seven for the win, Tyler Laporte and Garrett Granitz finished it with an inning each. On Thursday night the Stormers completed the three-game sweep with a more conventional 8-6 win. The early innings were once again productive, in the first Coca walked and Cordero singled ahead of Ariel Sandoval's RBI hit scoring Coca and a sac fly by Carpenter plating Cordero. In the second a double by Dunston and a Mercedes sac fly made it 3-0 Stormers but the visitors struck back with three in the third to tie it 3-up. In the home fourth Dunston singled and Loehr drew a walk, Mercedes followed with a two-run double into the gap putting the Stormers ahead 5-3. In the fifth a two-out rally added two more runs, Carpenter singled and Jack Conley walked ahead of Dunston's two-run triple. In the seventh Conley singled, stole second and scored on Dunston's RBI hit making it an 8-3 ballgame, Lexington scored one in the eighth and two in the ninth but it mattered little to the end result. New addition Jeff Bain made his first start for the Stormers and went five innings for the win, Brandyn Sittinger, Zach Warren, Nick Duron and Mike Adams got an inning of work each. The Stormers hit the road for a week, they're back home on the 28th. Take care, thanks for reading.
