Lancaster
Hey! Lancaster got their first win of the season after scoring five runs in the second, and then holding on for a 7-6 win over Lake Elsinore on Brandon Barnes' walk-off homer. Ross Seaton threw 5IP, 3H/5R (3ER), 1K:3BB - errors by Albert Cartwright and Barnes led to two unearned runs. Ashton Mowdy threw two perfect innings, Brandt Walker gave up a run on a hit and two walks in 0.1IP, and Brian Wabick got the win with 1.2IP of perfect closing...ness. Barnes, though, was 3x5 with a double and the aforementioned homer. Jordan Comadena was 2x4 with 2RBI, and Brandon Wikoff was 2x3 with 3RBI.
Man of the Match: Brandon Barnes
Lexington
Kannapolis needed about 25 minutes to win this game, jumping out to a 6-1 lead at the end of the 3rd, which was how it ended. Juan Minaya really...uh, well. 2.2IP, 4H/6R (4ER), 3K:1BB, and FOUR wild pitches. Colton Pitkin and Wander Alvino threw 5.1IP, 3H/0ER, 5K:1BB in relief. Jonathan Meyer committed yet another throwing error - his 6th of the season - and Miguel Arrendell made his second to lead to two unearned runs. The Legends got on base via the walk (five times) as much as they did with hits (also, five). Jake Goebbert was 2x4 with an RBI, Jiovanni Mier walked twice and scored on Goebbert's hit. J.D. Martinez got a hit, meaning he has hit safely in six of the Legends' seven games.
Man of the Match: Jake Goebbert.
