York Gets Blown Out by Crabs
By Atlantic League Independent Wire Services on July 16, 2009
York, PA – The York Revolution took one on the chin Wednesday night, losing 11-1 to the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs. The Revs are still 4-2 in the second half, tied for first place in the Freedom Division. They’ll look to close the homestand with a win on Thursday night against the Crabs.
Southern Maryland used an eight-run fifth inning, the largest against the Revs this season. An error got things started, and only one of the runs was earned. The runs scored on an RBI double by John Ramistella, an RBI single from Pat Osborn, another RBI single by Jermy Acey, a two-run bloop hit from Lance Burkhart, a two-run double by Octavio Martinez, and another RBI double by Chuck Jeroloman, as 12 batters came to the plate. Osborn’s two-run homer to left in the sixth then extended the lead to 10-0.
The big inning ruined a strong four innings by Tim Harikkala (5-2), who still has only allowed three earned runs over 15.2 innings his last three starts. He missed a chance to set a Revs record with a sixth straight win on his 38th birthday.
Kenny Rayborn (7-5) retired the first 16 he faced in the game until Jason Aspito clubbed a long homerun to right field in the sixth. It was the 41st in a Revs uniform for York’s all-time homerun leader, but it was the only hit all night for the Revs, who were one-hit for the first time in franchise history. Rayborn went eight innings, and has now allowed one earned run or less eight times this season in 16 starts.
Southern Maryland added one more in the ninth on a sac fly from Lance Burkhart, but outfielder Ryan Goleski managed to strike out two batters, and reached 91 mph on the stadium radar gun in his inning of mop-up duty.
Dan Foli will face Jarrett Grube in the finale on Thursday at 7 p.m. It is the third annual Red Hat Society Night at Sovereign Bank Stadium, and it’s also College ID Night. Students can receive a discounted $7 ticket on Field Box seats by showing their college ID at the Apple Chevrolet Ticket Office. Gates open at 6 p.m.
