DRIVE

Game Story

Two innings after Greenville blew a 3-0 lead, Keury De la Cruz made things all right.
The left fielder hit a 1-2 pitch over the fence in right to give the Drive a 4-3 victory over Charleston in the 11th inning.
Fresh off a 5-2 road trip, the Drive started its first eight-game homestand of the season in front of 4,516 at Fluor Field. Greenville (52-55, 18-19) has three more with Charleston (55-49, 17-21) followed by four with Hickory.
De La Cruz’s homer was his second in as many days and his 16th of the season.
Charleston’s three-run ninth ruined a solid outing from starting pitcher Jason Garcia. He came in with a 6.42 ERA but threw six shutout innings and allowed only two hits while striking out three.
Garcia said he’s become familiar with the Charleston team and has “learned to pitch with what I’ve got rather than to pitch around hitters. I felt like I overpowered them a lot with my fastball so I stuck with it.”
“He was impressive tonight,” Greenville manager Carlos Febles said of his starter. “He came in attacking the K-zone over the first four innings. In the fifth and sixth, he used his secondary stuff, which was pretty good.”
Greenville struck for two runs in the third. Jordan Weems, Vinicio, and Jose Garcia all singled to start the frame. Garcia’s single brought in Weems. Vinicio then scored on Garin Cecchini’s sacrifice fly to right field.

SPINNERS

Game Story

Too bad this is short-season Class A ball. There just might not be enough season left for the suddenly splendid Lowell Spinners to complete a long shot.
A safety squeeze by the State College Spikes in the seventh inning Monday night ended the Lowell pitchers' shutout string at 30 innings -- a team record, breaking the previous Spinners mark of 25 consecutive innings set last year.
But the winning and the fun continued.
Spinners shortstop Mike Miller hustled home from second base on an infield hit by Matt Gedman in the third inning, and he singled home Aneury Tavarez with the go-ahead run in the seventh, as once stumbling Lowell defeated State College, 2-1, at LeLeacheur Park.
Lowell (16-26) has won four straight, and seven of eight, though it began Monday nine games out in the New York-Penn League wild-card race with 35 games remaining, and nine teams ahead of it.
"We went through a tough stretch. But we've been good with our mental approach all year, and it's starting to show," said Miller (2-for-3, now batting .271), a 2012 ninth-round pick out of Cal Poly. "And now we're starting to get a few breaks."
All Spinner Land held its breath in the top of the ninth when State College's Samuel Gonzalez sent a Braden Kapteyn pitch high over the left-field foul pole toward the Merrimack.
The Spikes thought it was a game-tying homer.
"I couldn't tell," Miller said from his view at shortstop. "I was just hoping it kept hooking.
But off the bat, I thought it was a home run."
"I was blowing (it foul)," joked Spinners manager Bruce Crabbe.
Home-plate umpire Sam Vogt called it foul, the Spikes' second just-foul homer of the game.
Kapteyn wound up walking Gonzalez with one out, but then got Chris Diaz to bounce into a game-ending 4-6-3 double play.
Even after the final outs, the fun continued. A few committed pitchers remained standing in the Lowell and State College bullpens. The two bullpens had engaged in a standoff since standing for the national anthem 21/2 hours earlier.
"They did it yesterday for a little while," said Lowell starting pitcher Pat Light. "I guess today they took it to a whole new level."
"I think it's a college thing," said Crabbe.
Because State College had a bus to catch, Lowell's Jadd Schmeltzer and Tyler Wilson were the last relievers standing. So the Spinners won the fun, too.
