The Atlantic League semifinals came to Lancaster on Tuesday evening with the York Revolution leading the best-of-five series two games to none. The Revs won twice at home over the weekend, both were of the comeback variety including a walkoff in game #2. On this night a strong storm blew through during the supper hour, when I arrived at the ballpark at 6:00 it was POURING. I knew every effort would be made to play especially since the ballpark has turf, the rain finally let up and the game began around 8:15. The Stormers got off to a good start, Yeison Coca's two-run single in the second and Joe Campagna's sacrifice fly in the third gave the Home Team a 3-0 lead. In the fourth the Revs began another of their patented comebacks, a solo home run by Kyle Martin was followed by a Chris Williams long ball in the fifth and another by Martin in the sixth to tie the game 3-3. In the eighth the wheels came off the cart for the Stormers, two costly fielding errors and a two-run single by Shayne Fontana gave the Revs a three-run advantage. In the ninth the Stormers loaded the bases with two out but could do no damage, the Revs took the series winning 6-3. Cam Robinson saved it for winner Josh Mollerus, Scott Engler suffered the tough-luck loss. The Revolution faces High Point for the league title, the first two games are in York with the remainder in North Carolina. The rest of the week was relatively empty until Sunday in Rothsville for week #4 at Lions Park. The games on this day were rematches from week #1, Warwick defeated Ephrata via shootout and Hillside won over Township. Take care, thanks for reading.
