“Did you see, they replaced Marsh?”
“Yeah, I saw they switched outfielders”
“Well, it’s Fergus batting second now, so I hope we don’t need more runs”
[Record Scratch]
Yup, that was me. Up 4-0 and feeling good about myself. Didn’t believe in Fergus. Thought the game was in the bag. Not a good look for this baseball junkie.
About Last Night
Home runs from Stubbs and Kennedy gave the IronPigs the lead, but a really bad outing from Devin Sweet gave it all away. Lantigua with a sac fly in the 10th to tie it, and following a Crawford double, Fergus ended it with a 2-run smash. de Geus with a two-inning save.
Status Report
The IronPigs are 17-7, on a four-game win streak, and 6-4 in their last 10 games. They remain 1.0 games back in the league standings for the first-half title. Jacksonville continues to win as well.
Visiting Columbus is no push-over; they had been tied for first place in the Western Division prior to their house of horrors at Coca Cola Park. They now sit at 12-10.
LHP Ranger Suarez started Tuesday’s game and is on schedule to pitch for us on Sunday as well. We monitor LHP Cristopher Sanchez in Philadelphia, though, because an injury-list stint could change plans.
OF Brandon Marsh should be here through the weekend, although his playing schedule is not known for sure.
