Eddie Butler (W, 9-2) shined, pitching seven and one-third innings, allowing one run and seven hits. Alex Crosby drove in four runs including a three-run homer.
The Crabs bounce back in a big way and take game 3 against High Point!
The Blue Crabs got the bats going off of Neil Uskali (L, 3-3). With runners on first and third, Alex Crosby crushed a three-run home run over the wall in left-center field, giving the Blue Crabs a 3-0 lead.
From there the Blue Crabs added a run in the fourth inning off of knuckleballer Mickey Jannis. With Matt Hibbert on second base, Michael Baca punched a base hit into right field, giving Southern Maryland a 4-0 lead.
Eddie Butler kept the Rockers off the board until the sixth inning when Ben Aklinski smashed a solo home run over the wall in left-center, cutting the Blue Crabs' lead to 4-1.
The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs added a run in the seventh inning. With Braxton Lee on second, Alex Crosby came through again with an RBI single to center field, scoring Lee to put the Blue Crabs ahead 5-1.
Endrys Briceno relieved Eddie Butler in the eighth inning. Briceno entered with a runner on third and one out but induced a pop-out and strikeout to end the inning without a run. From there, Briceno issued a leadoff walk in the ninth before retiring the side in order with a pair of strikeouts, securing the 5-1 victory. After tonight's appearance, Briceno's ERA falls to just 0.72.
