Lakewood wins 3rd straight

D'Arby Myers broke out of a 4 for 38 slump with a 3 hit performance to lead a 14 hit Lakewood offense to an 11-2 win in the final game in Kannapolis Sunday. Myers also had a walk and drove in a run, and Lakewood got home runs from Michael Taylor (that's 4 straight games Taylor has played that he has homered), Mike Durant (tied for the league lead with 9) and Matt Rizzotti. Dominic Brown had 2 hits and 2 walks, scored a run, and drove 1 in. Travis Mattair had a single, a double, and a walk, and scored 2 runs, while Freddy Galvis chipped in with 2 hits and an RBI. Jesus Sanchez, who has not been getting to play because Joel Naughton has been so hot, also got into the act with a double, a walk, a run scored and 2 RBI.

Walter Tejeda was strong for 5 innings (he is still on an 85 pitch count as he builds arm strength) giving up just 2 runs, 1 earned, on 4 hits, NO walks, striking out 4 to improve to 3-1, 4.09 for the season. Moises Melendez finished the game, which was cut short by the last two outs when a storm came through in the bottom of the 9th inning, and picked up his 1st save. Lakewood heads into Greensboro Monday to take on the Grasshoppers, who are tied with them for 3rd place
