The Chiefs racked up 12 hits but could only drive in one as they fell to the RailRiders, 2-1 in the series finale. Taylor Hill started and let in one unearned run on three hits over six innings for a no-decision. The loss went to Trevor Gott as he gave up the gamewinner in the 8th on a hit and two walks. Brian Goodwin, Caleb Ramsey, and Tony Campana each had three hits with Goodwin scoring the lone run after a leadoff triple followed by a Pedro Severino double in the 7th.

Starter Matt DeRosier struck out seven over five innings of one-run ball, allowing just three hits and no walks. Luis Torres was less effective, strafed for three runs on four hits over three innings to suffer the loss. Victor Robles singled three times, including a two-run hit in the 9th with two outs to cut the Delmarva lead to one, while Cody Dent singled twice to lead the Hagerstown offense.

7 Commments

  1. Hmm, where’s the silver lining . . .

    Goodwin is hitting .393. If den Dekker continues to scuffle with the big club (1 for 8 I believe), does Goodwin get a look? He’s on the 40-man and should have the options to cover it. I’m not sure of den Dekker’s option status, though.

    Wow, Glover struck out all three he faced. How much more does he have to prove in the Carolina League if no one can even put a bat on his stuff?

    It’s going to be interesting to see if and when the Nats promote Robles. He’s so young, so I could understand if they don’t want to rush him. But there’s a good group of Latin players at Potomac if they move him up. You would think he’ll stay at Hagerstown for at least two or three months, though.

    1. Glover is indeed looking good so far. However, he’s walked more batters in the past 2 weeks than he has in the rest of his professional career….. :o) (*SSS*)

  2. Best name so far of the burgeoning 2016 season goes to the Delmarva Shorebirds relief pitcher who got the save in yesterday’s game. Maybe he should get together with ‘The Orange’??

  3. Boy, yesterday brings back bad memories of last year–not only having every team including the big club lose, but they all struggle to score runs.

      1. Thanks Luke. It’s good (more user friendly), but the data is a bit spurious: for example (looking just now), Robles doesn’t appear on the entire batting list, and Drew Ward only has 3 ABs?
