The Muckdogs (13-11) scored five runs to Lowell’s (11-13) two to add another win, making it two in a row. Scott Gorgen (1-0) came in to pitch in the 6th and worked three scoreless innings to get the win. He only allowed one hit while walking two and striking out seven. Lowell’s Stolmy Pimentel (2-1) was on the losing end, letting in five runs through four innings.
Batavia struck first in the 2nd on a Domnit Bolivar solo homerun to left field. But, the Spinners tied it up in the top of the 3rd on back-to-back singles by Rafael Gil and Will Middlebrooks. Ryan Dent flew out to get the RBI.
However, the Muckdogs had a big 3rd inning, scoring four runs. Frederick Parejo doubled, Colt Sedbrook walked and Jermaine Curtis singled to score the first. Sedbrook then came home on a wild pitch. With runners on second and third, Blake Murphy doubled to plate two.
Jason Buursma (1) pitched a scoreless 9th to get the save. Bolivar went 2-for-4, including his homerun. The Muckdogs are home again Saturday to begin a three-game series versus the Aberdeen Ironbirds.
