Tuesday evening on North Prince Street, the Stormers continued the homestand with a visit from our friends Across The River. The York Revolution ran away and hid in the first half with a 43-20 record, through the first fourteen game of the second half the Stormers lead the division by three games with the Revs in second. On this night the Revs drew first blood in the third on Alfredo Reyes' solo home run, in the fifth Isan Diaz went yard with a man on to put the Stormers on top 2-1. In the seventh the Revs tied it on an Alex Pantoja RBI single but the Stormers took it right back on a Chris Proctor home run to lead 3-2. The Revs struck for three in the eighth on Donovan Casey's round-tripper and a two-run single by Reyes but in their half the Stormers fought back with two of their own. Back-to-back singles by Gaige Howard and Joseph Carpenter set the table, Howard advanced on an error and scored on Shawon Dunston's groundout to make it 5-4. Proctor followed with an RBI to tie the score but in the ninth the final shot belonged to the Revs on Matt McDermott's two-out home run. The final was 6-5, Ethan Lindow and Noah Bremer were the respective starters but both were long gone by the time it ended. Aaron Holiday was the winner with Matt Turner earning the save, Phil Diehl took the loss. On Wednesday night in game #2 another tight and taut contest unfolded, on this night the Stormers struck first on Joe Stewart's solo home run in the second inning. In the fourth Donovan Casey reached on an error and scored on another error to tie the game, in the bottom half Niko Hulsizer homered onto the berm in left field to put the Stormers back up 2-1. In the sixth Jacob Rhinesmith left the ballpark to right-center pulling the Revs even, in the seventh Matt McDermott walked and scored on a wild pitch giving the visitors a 3-2 lead. In the home half Shawon Dunston walked, Joe Stewart followed with an RBI triple to tie the game. Trace Loehr batted with one out and came through with a base hit scoring Stewart putting the Stormers ahead 4-3. That would be the final score, Jackson Rees won it in relief of Oscar De La Cruz with Stephen Nogosek recording the save, Rev starter Aaron Fletcher took the loss. The series concludes on Thursday night and one can only wonder what comes next. Take care, thanks for reading.
