Sea Dogs Rally for 9-5 Win in Trenton! Anderson Launches Three-Run Homer in the Ninth By DJ Abisalih04/25/2010 5:32 PM http://0rz.tw/zDi6F (Trenton, NJ)- On Sunday afternoon, the Portland Sea Dogs were down, but they were far from out. Portland trailed the Trenton Thunder 4-2 after six innings of play, but two runs in the seventh, and three in the ninth gave the visitors a 9-5 comeback win at Waterfront Park. Lars Anderson keyed the comeback with an RBI single, as well as a three-run bomb. The Sea Dogs got the scoring started right away. Nate Spears led off the game with a walk, moved to second on a sacrifice bunt by Ray Chang, and found his way home on a double to right-center by Ryan Kalish. The Thunder evened the score in the bottom of the first on a run by Austin Krum, but Portland responded, as Juan Apodaca led off the second inning with a home run to right field. In the bottom of the third, Trenton took the lead. Austin Krum started the rally with a walk, moved to second on a balk, and ultimately scored when Austin Romine doubled to center. Romine didn't stay at second base for very long, as Brandon Laird knocked him in with a single up the middle. Three innings later, the Thunder added to their lead, when Marcos Vechionacci singled home Daniel Brewer, who tripled to right-center. Jeremy Bleich had a solid start on the mound for the Thunder, allowing two runs, four hits, and two walks, while striking out two, in five innings. However, once he and Josh Schmidt were taken out of the game, the Sea Dogs' bats came to life. Portland's comeback started in the seventh. Ray Chang and Luis Exposito reached base with a couple of singles, setting the table for Lars Anderson and Juan Apodaca. Anderson brought the Sea Dogs within a run with a single to right, before Apodaca knotted the score with a double down the left field line. Anderson was thrown out at home plate, but the damage was done. The score stayed tied until the ninth inning, when the visitors turned a tie game into a blowout. Ryan Kalish and Luis Exposito each walked to start the frame, before Lars Anderson cranked a three-run homer to right field, putting Portland ahead, 7-4. The Sea Dogs weren't done yet, as Nate Spears added to the offense with a two-run double to right-center, scoring Juan Apodaca and Che-Hsuan Lin. Thanks to Spears' double, all nine batters in the Sea Dogs' order picked up at least one hit, as the team finished with a total of 15. The Thunder got a run back in the bottom of the ninth, but it wasn't enough, as Portland finished their series win with a 9-5 victory. For the second time in the series, the pitchers of record were identical. Robert Coello (3-1) earned the win for the Sea Dogs, going two innings, allowing one run, two hits, and one walk, while striking out three. Noel Castillo (0-2) suffered the loss, allowing five runs in 1/3 of an inning. With the Trenton series finished, the Sea Dogs will now turn their attention to a three-game series against the Binghamton Mets. The first game of that series takes place on Monday night at 6:35. Ryne Miller (0-1, 6.92) will get the start for Portland, going up against Binghamton's Mike Antonini (2-1, 6.28).
