| Behind solid outing from Jonathan Albaladejo, the Bridgeport Bluefish stopped the Sugar Land Skeeters to earn their first win of the season. |
The Skeeters scored the game’s first run off Bluefish starter Jonathan Albaladejo, last year’s Atlantic League Pitcher of the Year, in the bottom of the first on a two-out, RBI single by Andy Wilkins that drove in Josh Prince.
The Bluefish evened the score in the top of the fourth. Tony Abreu reached first on a one-out single, and advanced to third on a single by Jeff Burroughs, and scored on a wild pitch by Sugar Land starting pitcher Michael Nix.
Bridgeport took the lead for good in the top of the fifth on a two-out single
by D’Arby Myers, driving home Ozney Guillen. Guillen reached first on an
infield single and advanced to second on a throwing error by Prince, then
reached second on a fielder’s choice. He moved to third on a single by Daniel
Fields, then came home on a single by Myers. They added an insurance run in the
top of the seventh when Fields scored on an RBI single by Guillen.
Albaladejo (1-0) earned the victory, allowing just one run
on four hits in six innings of work, striking out six. Nix (0-1) was tagged
with the loss, surrendering two runs (one earned run) on five hits in six
innings pitched, striking out four and tossing a wild pitch. David Carpenter
retired the side in order in the bottom of the ninth, striking out a pair, to
earn his first save of the season. Danny Burawa and Manny fired six scoreless
innings in the series. Myers and Sean Burrows led the way for the Bluefish with
two hits each.
Bridgeport returns home for the first time in the 2017 regular season following their seven game road trip on Friday, April 28th when they host the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs at the Ballpark at Harbor Yard. First pitch on Opening Day is scheduled for 4:05. The first 500 fans in attendance will receive schedule posters presented by the Connecticut Department of Transportation. CLICK HERE for tickets.
