Revs Suffer First Second Half Loss

By Atlantic League Independent Wire Services on July 15, 2009

York, PA – The York Revolution lost for the first time in the second half, falling 3-2 to the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs on Tuesday evening at Sovereign Bank Stadium.  The Revs, still off to their best start ever at 4-1, will look to even the series on Wednesday night at 7 p.m.

Spot starter Daryl Harang allowed just one run in five innings, on Rich Giannotti’s third inning homer, his second of the year.  Harang scattered six hits and only walked one.

Southern Maryland extended their lead in the seventh, however, on Pat Osborn’s RBI double down the third base line, and a sac fly from Jeremy Owens.

Blue Crabs starter Joe Gannon took a shutout into the eighth, extending his scoreless streak to 13 innings.  Josh Johnson led off the eighth with a single on the first pitch, however, chasing Gannon.  Carl Loadenthal then singled up the middle against reliever Matt Schweitzer, and Keoni DeRenne sacrificed both into scoring position.  P.J. Rose was hit by a pitch to load the bases, and Tom Collaro drew a bases loaded walk to get the Revs on the board at 3-1.  Schweitzer came back to strike out both Matt Rogelstad and Jason Aspito, however, to squelch the threat.

Matt Esquivel led off the ninth with a single against closer Matt Hensley, again bringing the tying run to the plate.  Hensley came back to strike out both Matt Padgett and Johnson.  Esquivel stole second on the latter of the two, and scored on another knock up the middle by Loadenthal, but Hensley came back to strike out the side, fanning DeRenne to end the game.

Gannon (7-9) improves to 6-1 in his career against York (4-0 this season), and has allowed one or no earned runs in six of his seven starts against the Revs.

Harang (2-8) suffered the loss, despite lowering his ERA to 4.35.  He has allowed just one earned run in his last 13 innings of work.

Notes: It is the sixth consecutive one-run game for the Revs, who are now 4-2 during that stretch… the Revs still lead the league in one-run victories, and are 14-8 in such situations this season… P.J. Rose extended his hitting streak to six games (9-for-21) with a first inning single… Loadenthal (2-for-5) extended his streak to five games (7-for-21)… Tim Harikkala (5-1) will face Kenny Rayborn (6-5) in the middle game of the series on Wednesday at 7 p.m… it is Bark in the Park: Part Duex, as man’s best friend is invited back to Sovereign Bank Stadium… all young ballplayers participating in the Revs’ one-day baseball camp sponsored by Wellspan will also be welcomed Wednesday night… every Wednesday is an Amtrak Wednesday where fans can enter a drawing for two free, round-trip tickets.
