The Mahoning Valley Scrappers will return home to play two games on Tuesday and Wednesday.  The bus couldn’t pull out of Tri-City’s parking lot fast enough as the Scrappers were swept following Monday’s 5-1 loss.

In what is turning out to be the normal scenario for these Scrappers, a starting pitcher does real well and turns the ball over to the bullpen.  Things go downhill from there.  Jacob Lee was the latest Scrapper starter to pitch his heart out only to get a ‘no decision’.

Lee worked himself out of a bases-loaded first inning jam and went on to surrender just one hit over his four innings.  Lee walked two and struck out five to increase his team lead in strikeouts to 38 on the season.  Geoff Davenport came in and allowed five hits and two runs in taking the loss for the Scrappers.  Cody Penny and Luis Encarnacion followed in relief and also gave up at least one run in their stints.

Evan Frazar had three hits for Mahoning Valley.  His RBI-double knocked in Joe Sever with the Scrappers only run in the contest.

Williamsport will be in town for a pair of games, the last two home games before the All-Star game at Eastwood Field.  Two-dollar Tuesday is a good deal!  Get there early and take in a game!
