After a tough loss last night, the Miners (21-8) scored seven unanswered runs in the sixth inning to come back from an early three-run deficit against the New York Boulders (14-13).
The Boulders started the scoring early with a solo home run from Ryan McCoy in the first. The Boulders then added two more in the third with an RBI single from Alfredo Marte and a RBI walk from Christian Ficca.
The three runs were all Tyler Thornton gave up as he scattered six hits, two walks, and four strikeouts across five innings of work.
In the bottom of the sixth inning, the Miners loaded the bases with no outs thanks to two singles and a walk. Then with one out, Mahkai Backstrom drew a bases-loaded walk for the Miners’ first run of the game. With a RBI hit-by-pitch to Jordan Smith and a walk by Alec Sayre, the Miners tied the game. Backstrom came rumbling home on a wild pitch as the Miners took a 4-3 lead. The Miners weren’t done there, adding three more runs courtesy of a RBI groundout by Keenan O’Brien, another wild pitch scoring Alec Sayre, and a RBI single by newcomer Abdel Guadalupe.
The score remained at 7-3 with the relievers JC Ariza, Tyler Luneke, and Matt Stil shutting out the Boulders over the final four innings with six strikeouts. JC Ariza earned the win, moving to 1-1.
The Miners improve to 21-8 on the season and expand their division lead over the Boulders to 6 games.
Sussex County can win the series in tomorrow’s rubber match. Mike Reagan will be on the bump for a 7:05 PM first pitch.
