The Mahoning Valley Scrappers split a pair of games with Jamestown on Friday.  The first game was a continuation of Thursday’s rain-halted contest.  Leading 6-3 in the continuation game, the bullpen got rocked for six runs in the eighth and the Jammers took the first game, 9-7.

Evan Frazar hit a grand slam before the rain came, but when play resumed on Friday, the skies may have cleared, but the Scrapper bullpen remained cloudy.

In the Scrapper half of the sixth, Joe Wendle doubled home Robel Garcia to push the advantage to 7-3.  Jack Wagoner (1-3) surrendered the final three runs to take the loss for the Scrappers.

In the second game, the bullpen was able to preserve a spectacular performance by Scrapper starter, Jacob Lee.  All Lee did was throw five perfect innings, while tallying five strikeouts.  The Scrappers ended up on the right end of a 2-1 verdict.

Juan Romero hit his sixth homer of the season, a two-run bomb to center.  Those two runs in the second would prove to be enough run support for Lee.

Rafael Homblert worked the seventh inning to notch his first career save for Mahoning Valley.

The Scrappers return home for a two-game set with the same Jamestown Jammers on Saturday and Sunday at Eastwood Field.  First pitch is at 7, and the Sunday game will start at 5.
