Jeremy Hamilton had 2 hits and 2 walks, including the walk-off single in the bottom of the 10, as the Lakewood BlueClaws made it 5 of 7, with a come-from-behind 3-2 win over West Virginia to wrap up their home stand. "Ham" is 6 for 17 in his last 5 games and playing outstanding first base in less than ideal conditions in the rain riddled New Jersey this week.
Harold Garcia, who had the game winning RBI Thursday night, knocked in the tying run in the bottom of the 9th with a sac fly, which I thought was a home run when he hit it.
D'Arby Myers had another good game, with 2 hits and a walk, including a bunt single in the game-tying rally in the 9th. D'Arby is finding his stroke now that he is getting to play everyday, with
Steve Susdorf sidelined after being hit in the head with a pitch Wednesday afternoon.
Jason Knapp started and pitched well, throwing 6 innings and giving up 2 runs on 5 hits and 1 walk, striking out 4, and hitting 96 MPH on the gun regularly.
Ryan Ariail was spectacular, throwing 3 flawless innings to set up the late inning heroics.
B.J. Rosenberg threw the 10th inning and picked up his 4th win of the season.
Lakewood is now 28-19, and leads Delmarva by 1.5 games as they head out on a critical 8 game trip to Greensboro and Delmarva.
Heitor Correa (1-1) will start off the trip tonight against the Grasshoppers. The BlueClaws are 10-6 with 8 games remaining in the 24 game in 24 day odyssey (which includes 2 trips to North Carolina with out an off day!) that is this section of the South Atlantic League schedule.
