FerryHawks Come Up Short In Series Finale Against Blue Crabs

The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs defeated the Staten Island FerryHawks 4-2 on Sunday afternoon to complete the series sweep here in Staten Island. The FerryHawks had the Crabs on the ropes late in the game, but in the end Southern Maryland was able to take care of business in this one. 
 
The 1:00 PM game was coasting along thanks to shutdown pitching by starters on both sides. Through the first five innings, the two teams combined for only five hits and zero runs. 
 
Southern Maryland broke the game open in the 6th when they plated two runs to make it 2-0 in their favor. Following that half inning, FerryHawks starter Ivan Pineyro (1-1) exited the game with a final line of 6 innings, 6 hits, 2 runs, 0 walks, and 8 strikeouts. 
 
The FerryHawks pushed back quickly as a Jack Elliott double drove in Kevin Krause to cut the deficit to one in the bottom of the 6th. The Blue Crabs again tacked on two runs in the 7th thanks to a solo homerun to right and a costly FerryHawks fielding error later in the inning, extending their lead to 4-1. The FerryHawks tried to rally in the 8th and that's where things got interesting. 
 
Speedster Mitch Piatnik walked to start the inning. He was then brought home by an Angel Aguilar single to left field. Trailing 4-2 the FerryHawks managed to load the bases with only one out in the inning. However, a grounder to second led to a crushing double play that helped Southern Maryland escape the jam and ultimately close out the game in the next inning.   
 
The FerryHawks go on the road this week to visit the York Revolution before returning home this upcoming weekend to face the Lancaster Barnstormers. The FerryHawks have a full slate of fun promotions planned including FDNY Night (June 9th at 7:00 PM), Mozzarella Madness Day (June 10th at 4:00 PM), and Marvel Super Hero™ Day (June 11th at 1:00 PM)!
