CLEARWATER, Fla. – Casey Martin went 2-for-3 with three RBI in the Threshers' Thursday night triumph over the Tampa Tarpons.
The teams traded two spots in the second inning. Tampa (23-10) loaded the bases and walked in one run, followed by an RBI single by Anthony Volpe that put the Tarpons ahead 2-0. Clearwater (18-15) answered with a two-run home run off the bat of Juan Aparicio tying the game at two apiece.
The Threshers broke the tie in the third inning. Johan Rojas hit a sharp groundball double into center field and was brought home with an RBI single from Martin to give the Threshers a 3-2 lead.
Clearwater added to the advantage in the fourth inning. Yhoswar Garcia and Luis Garcia drew consecutive walks and then both swiped a base to put runners at second and third with one out. Rojas knocked his second hit of the game that brought Y. Garcia across the plate and doubled the damage to 4-2. Martin then drove in two runs with a line-drive double to left field that extended the Threshers’ lead to 6-2.
In his professional debut, Yhoswar Garcia went 1-for-3 with a run scored and a walk.
The Tarpons scored a run in the seventh off a throwing error and a double by Volpe, but the Threshers came out the 6-3 victors on Thursday night.
