Sussex County extends winning streak to four
The Sussex County Miners (25-24) have gone over .500 after defeating the Lake Erie Crushers (22-31) 3-1 behind a strong starting pitching performance by Tristian Harley (1-0) at ForeFront Field in Avon, Ohio. Sussex County looks to sweep the series tomorrow against their Midwest Central Division opponents.
Much like yesterday’s game one, the Miners quickly got to work. After loading the bases early against Fraynel Nova, Evan Berkey‘s sacrifice fly to right field brought Hunter D’Amato home, giving the Miners an early 1-0 advantage. Later in the inning, Edwin Mateo, yesterday’s offensive hero, delivered again. His line-drive RBI single to center field doubled the lead.
Harley continued where Rob Hensey left off last night. Despite getting himself into early trouble and giving up a single to Luis Acevedo to cut the lead to 2-1, Harley worked his way out of the jam and remained comfortable throughout his six innings.
It was a pitching duel throughout, with the score remaining 2-1 through eight innings. But with bases loaded in the top of the 8th, Gabriel Maciel pulled through with a line drive RBI to right field, making it 3-1. The bullpen would hold off any potential Crushers comeback and in the bottom of the ninth inning, Parker Primeaux would earn the save with a nice and easy 1-2-3 inning.
With this win, the Miners have climbed back from a sloppy late May to Early June period and have gotten themselves back to over a .500 record on the season. A great achievement for a very talented Miners roster that’s found their footing over the last several weeks. They look to sweep the Crushers in Avon, Ohio before travelling to Evansville to take on the Otters.
First pitch is scheduled at 6:30 p.m.
