Blowfish Bounce Back Against Wolves; Trounce Florence

LEXINGTON COUNTY, S.C. (Blowfish) — The Blowfish got their second crack in as many days against the Florence RedWolves and they would avenge their tough loss at Sparrow Stadium clubbing the Wolves 11-2.

A quick start in the first got things started for the Fish when Chaz McCormick (Millersville) tripled down the left field line and was brought in via an RBI single from Charlie Madden (Mercer) to give Lexington County the early 1-0 lead.

The Fish added three more in the fourth on a three run blast from Grant Miller (Western Michigan) his third of the season.

Lexington County tacked on two more in the inning to open up a 6-0 lead over Florence.

The Fish weren’t done going into the fifth adding four more runs en route to a 10 run lead through the first five.

Florence scratched two runs in the game and the Blowfish pushed across their eleventh as they knocked off the Wolves 11-2.

Canaan Cropper (South Carolina) began his dominant night on the rubber from the get go facing the minimum through the first two innings.

At one point in the ballgame he set down 12 straight RedWolves and also struck out 5 straight Florence batters between the fifth and sixth innings.

Cropper gave up just two hits in the game and one unearned run coupled with 10 strikeouts throughout 8 strong innings pitched.

Tomorrow night the Blowfish have the night off and will come back to the Lex on Thursday night to tangle with the Bananas.  First pitch is slated for 7:05 p.m. and coverage will begin on z93.1 FM The Lake at 6:50 p.m.
