thinning to lift Brevard County to a 10-9 victory in a wild

in the 4
thinning and 8-3 in the 6
th…Dustin Geiger hit a 3-run home run in the 1
stinning…Ben McMahan and Nick
Ramirez each hit solo shots for the ‘Tees…The ‘Tees scored 2 runs in each of the 6
th, 7
th, and 8
thinnings to take a
9-8 lead before an RBI FC tied the game in the 9
th…Starter Jacob Barnes lasted just 2.1 innings, giving up 5 runs on 4
hits and career highs of 6 walks and 2 hit batters…Toledo picked up the win after blowing the save…McMahan
went 3-4 with 3 runs, a homer, 2 RBIs and 2 walks…Cameron Garfield collected 3 hits, including 2 doubles.
CLOSE CALL:
After another 1-run win last night, the Manatees improved to 15-5 on the season in contests decided
by a single run…They have the most wins and the highest winning percentage (.750) in the Florida State League.
MITTELSTAEDT MAGIC:
Since T.J. Mittelstaedt joined the club on 5/3, the Manatees have had 3 walk-off wins, all
directly involving the utility man…He hit the walk-off double on 5/16 vs. St. Lucie, the walk-off homer on 5/25 vs.
Clearwater and scored the game-winning run after pinch running last night.
ANY WAY HE CAN:
Mittelstaedt has reached base 21 of 22 games in which he has recorded a plate appearance
with the Manatees this season…He went 0-4 on 5/14 to snap the original 9-game on-base streak, but has reached
base in 12 straight games since…He has had a hit in 10 games, but has drawn at least 1 walk in 15 games so
far…He leads the team with 21 walks on the season, despite not joining the team until 5/3.
Mittelstaedt has also scored a run in 9 of his last 11 games and has scored 11 total runs in that span.
ROAD WOES:
After getting swept in Clearwater, the Manatees are now 11-15 on the road this year…Brevard
County is hitting just .216 and averaging 3.1 runs per game away from Space Coast Stadium.
Daytona is 11-15 at home this season and owns a 4.71 ERA at Jackie Robinson Ballpark
BAGS FULL:
After going 1-for-5 with 2 walks with the bases loaded last night, the Manatees are 6-for-37 (.162)
with the bases loaded this season…Cody Hawn had an RBI single last night…Ben McMahan and Yadiel Rivera drew
back-to-back walks to force in runs in the 8
thinning.
Opponents are batting just .220 (11-for-50) with the bases loaded against ‘Tees pitching this year.
HITLESS WONDER:
Today’s starter, Chad Pierce, has allowed just 18 hits in 36.1 innings pitched…His .160
opponents batting average out of the bullpen is the 3
rdbest among all Florida State League relievers.
DIGGING THE LONGBALL:
After hitting a solo blast to right field last night, Nick Ramirez has a home run in 5 of
his last 7 games (26 at bats), and 7 of the last 13…He is now 2
ndin the Florida State League with 12 long balls on
the season, just 1 behind Miguel Sano of Fort Myers…7 of Ramirez’ 12 home runs this year have come against
Clearwater…He has hit homers off of a left-handed starting pitcher the last 4 times southpaws have toed the
rubber after not registering a home run against a lefty in his 1
st46 games of the year.
