Waldorf MD – After Saturday night’s game was called because of rain, the Blue Crabs and the Patriots played two seven innings game for the second time this season. The Blue Crabs won in dramatic fashion in game one, and the Patriots with a late rally in game two, took home the victory 4-2.
In game one, Southern Maryland was trailing but tied the game in the bottom of the seventh. With one out, Renny Osuna came up and hit a homer over the wall in left field to tie the game.
Osuna played the hero one more time, as Tyler Wagner led off the bottom of the ninth with a single. Antone DeJesus dropped down a sacrifice bunt to advance Wagner to second. Osuna then singled to right center to score Wagner for the walk off 5-4 win.
The Blue Crabs will look to even the four game series Monday evening, May 18 in the final game of the set. Right-handed pitcher Mickey Storey (3-0, 1.17 earned run average) will take the ball for Somerset, while right-handed pitcher Brian Baker (1-0, 3.57 earned run average) will pitch for the Blue Crabs. The first pitch is set for 7:05 p.m. from Regency Furniture Stadium.
