GCL Nationals Lost, 5-2 END OF SEASON N/A

Syracuse 1 Gwinnett 0
• Lannan (W, 8-11) 9IP, 3H, 0R, BB, 2K
• Perez 1-4 (13G hit streak)
• Negrych 1-4
• Valdez 1-4
• Walters 0-2, R, BB

John Lannan threw a three-hit shutout as the Chiefs offense got the minimum for a 1-0 win. Lannan walked just one and struck out two and needed just 87 pitched to toss the comeplete game. Eury Perez, Jim Negrych and Jesus Valdez each singled, but the lone run came in the third without a base hit or an RBI. Zach Walters walked, took second when Jarrett Hoffpauir was hit by a pitch, advanced to third on a botched sacrifice and scored when Perez hit into a double play.

Bowie 5 Harrisburg 4
• Broderick (ND) 5⅔ IP, 9H, 3R, 3ER, 0BB, 4K
• Zinicola (BS, 1; L, 1-2) 1IP, 3H, 1R, 1ER, 2BB, 2K, 2-1 IR-S
• Bloxom 3-4, 2B, 3B, 3RBI
• Goodwin 2-5, 2R, 2B, HR, RBI, CS

The Senators couldn’t stand the prosperity of a 4-0 lead and let the last five runs go unanswered for their third straight loss, 5-4. The “L” also officially eliminated Harrisburg from the playoffs to end a two-year run. Zech Zinicola let in the tying run in the 8th and gave up the winning run in the 8th for the blown-save-loss, allowing three hits and two walks while recording three outs. Justin Bloxom was a home run short of the cycle and drove in three of the four Senator runs. The fourth came in on Brian Goodwin’s 5th home run for Harrisburg, 14th overall.

Potomac 3 Frederick 0 (6 inn.)
• Swynenberg 6IP, 5H, 0R, 4BB, 2K
• Howell 2-3, R, HR, RBI
• Martinson 1-3, R, 3B, RBI
• Hague 1-3, SB(20)

Potomac scored three times in the rain Last Night In Woodbridge.

Hagerstown 3 Delmarva 1 — GAME ONE
• Rauh (W, 3-2) 6+IP, 3H, R, ER, 2BB, 6K
• Mirowski (SV, 2) 1IP, 1H, 0R, 0BB, K, 1-1 IR-S
• Dykstra 2-3, 2B, RBI
• Leonida 1-2, 2RBI

The Suns took an early 3-0 lead and held off the Shorebirds late for a 3-1 win in the opener. Brian Rauh pitched into the seventh but was lifted after a leadoff walk. Richie Mirowski was greeted with a double to send the runner to 3rd but got the next three outs to preserve the win. Cutter Dykstra (2-for-3) and Cole Leonida (1-for-2) combined for three hits and three RBI.

Hagerstown 6 Delmarva 5 — GAME TWO
• Anderson 4IP, 3H, R, ER, BB, 3K
• Meza (W, 8-1) 2IP, 5H, 4R, 4ER, 2BB, 3K, HR
• Bates (SV, 6) 1IP, 0H, 0R, 0BB, 0K
• Burns 3-3, 2R, BB, RBI
• Higley 1-2, R, HR, BB, RBI
• Norfork 0-1, R, 3BB

Hagerstown scored three in the 5th only to see Delmarva respond with four in the 6th, but answered back with the gamewinner in the last of the 6th for a 5-4 win and a doubleheader sweep. Christian Meza got the benefit of the Suns’ rally for his 8th win. Colin Bates pitched a 1-2-3 seventh for his sixth save. Billy Burns led the Hagerstown offense with a 3-for-3 game with two runs scored. The victories, the fourth and fifth straight, also opened up the Suns lead over second-place Hickory and West Virginia to 3½ games and lowered the magic number to clinch the Sally North to six with eight games to play.

Mahoning Valley 7 Auburn 3
• Fischer 5IP, 3H, 3R, 2ER, 4BB, 6K
• Mendez (L, 0-1) ⅓ IP, 1H, 2R, 2ER, BB, 0K
• Wall ⅔ IP, 3H, 2R, 2ER, 0BB, 0K, 2-2 IR-S
• Renda 4-6, R, RBI
• Miller 2-6, R, RBI

The Auburn Citizen’s Ben Meyers has the story on the 11th-inning meltdown, including an Butch Hobson-like ejection of manager Gary Cathcart. The 7-3 loss drops Auburn’s lead over second-place Batavia to two games. The Doubledays and Muckdogs play next Sunday and Monday as part of Auburn’s 10-game roadtrip to end the season.

GCL Astros 5 GCL Nationals 2
• Mieses (L, 1-5) 5IP, 7H, 4R, 2ER, 0BB, 3K
• Lucas 3IP, 4H, R, ER, BB, 2K
• Difo 1-4, R
• Severino 1-4, R

The GCL Nationals finished the 2012 season with a 5-2 loss to the GCL Astros. Adalberto Mieses started and gave up four runs (two earned) on seven hits with no walks and three strikeouts over five innings, but notched his fifth “L.” Bobby Lucas finished the game with a run on four hits and a walk over the final three innings. The offense was held to just five hits and one walk, with both runs scoring by virtue of an error. The G-Nats’ final record of 27-33 was eight games off the pace and last in the GCL East.
