Blue Crabs BATTLE BACK LATE TO TAKE SWEEP
Bridgeport, CT – May 15th – Just eight days after the Bridgeport Bluefish ended one home stand with a sweep of the York Revolution they were on the other side of the broom. The Southern Maryland Blue Crabs beat the Bluefish 5-4, capped by a two-run eighth inning off Bridgeport reliever T.J. Tucker. The sweep drops Bridgeport's record to 9-10 while the Blue Crabs surge to 12-7.
The Bluefish took a 4-3 lead into the eighth when Tucker took the mound. An Eric Crozier sacrifice fly with runners on first and third and a Clint Johnston RBI single put an end to the Bluefish lead. Johnston finished the night going three-for-five, driving in two.
Bridgeport starter Carlos Castillo and reliever Chad Bentz had kept Southern Maryland's offense quiet for the majority of the game. Castillo went five innings and gave up three runs on six hits while striking out two and walking one. Bentz pitched two innings of one-hit ball in relief.
The bottom of the lineup performed well for the Bluefish tonight, with Bobby Darula, Brian Munhall, and Jake Daubert going a combined five-for-11 while driving in two runs and scoring two.
Dan Reichert (2-1) picked up the win for the Blue Crabs, going seven innings and allowing ten hits and four runs while walking one and striking out four. Tucker (0-1) is charged with the loss while Derrick DePriest collected his second save in as many games, fifth on the season.
Southern Maryland 5 (12-7)
