OFFICIAL PORTLAND SEA DOGS WRAP UP
Robert Coello put together one of the best pitching performances of his career, allowing three hits and striking out eleven in five and two-thirds innings. Unfortunately, the Portland Sea Dogs were unable to get him the win, as Daniel Brewer's fielder's choice in the bottom of the ninth was the difference. The Trenton Thunder won for the second night in a row, blanking Portland 1-0 at Waterfront Park.
Both starting pitchers were absolutely magnificent. Robert Coello got the nod for the Sea Dogs, and went five and two-thirds innings, allowing just three hits, while striking out eleven. The eleven strikeouts are a career high for Coello, and the most by a Portland pitcher since Felix Doubront's ten on July 22, 2009 at New Britain. On the other side, David Phelps tossed seven innings for the Thunder, allowing four hits and one walk, while tying his season high with seven strikeouts.
Portland's Mitch Herold and Trenton's Eric Wordekemper kept the pitcher's duel going, as the game remained scoreless into the ninth. Wordekemper kept the Sea Dogs off of the scoreboard in the top half of the ninth, but Bryce Cox wasn't as fortunate in the bottom half. Brandon Laird and Jorge Vazquez both picked up one-out singles, and Daniel Brewer drove in the game's only run with a fielder's choice to short. The play scored Edwar Gonzalez, who ran for Laird at third base.
Wordekemper (3-0) recorded the win, while Cox (0-4) took the loss.
The Sea Dogs and Thunder will conclude their three-game series on Thursday night at 7:05. Ryne Miller (2-3, 4.53) will make the start for Portland, going up against Trenton's Cory Arbiso (0-1, 3.60).
