Yan Throws Three Hitter Against Lancaster
By Atlantic League Independent Wire Services on June 10, 2009
(Bridgeport, CT – June 9, 2009) – The Bridgeport Bluefish defeated the Lancaster Barnstormers in the opening game of a three-game set on Tuesday 4-1 at The Ballpark at Harbor Yard.
Despite the cloudy weather, Bluefish starter Esteban Yan shined bright as the star of the game. Yan (4-1) held the Barnstormers scoreless through seven innings allowing only three hits while striking out eight. The righthander continued his string of quality starts and has now given up only six earned runs in his last five starts.
The Bluefish offense broke out for four runs on eight hits, headed by a two-run third inning. Tyrone Pendergrass and Adam Greenburg hit back-to-back singles to start the frame. Enohel Polanco laced a single into left field, plating Pendergrass. Greenburg later advanced home on a fielder’s choice by Luis Lopez, giving the Bluefish a 2-0 lead.
Bridgeport tacked on another run in the bottom of the sixth as Luis Rodriguez led off with a double. Pendergrass drove a single to right to bring home Rodriguez.
Enohel Polanco had an impressive home debut with the Bluefish collecting an RBI single. Luis Rodriguez and Tyrone Pendergrass both went 2-for-4 on the night, accounting for half of the team’s eight hits. Pendergrass drove in one and one scored himself to help propel the Bluefish to victory.
The Bluefish and Barnstormers play the second game of their three-game series tomorrow at 7:05 p.m. Righthander Gary Knotts will be on the mound for the Bluefish, and will be opposed by Lancaster starter Eric Ackerman.
