Olson Powers Tornadoes Comeback

AUGUSTA, NJ- Garrett Olson was all the offense that Worcester needed tonight. He knocked in all three runs for the Tornadoes, the final two coming in the top of the ninth on a one out double of Sussex closer Mike Petrusek (0-1). Petrusek earned the save last night and led the league in saves least season with twenty-four.

Matt Weagle (0-1) did not have his best stuff tonight but still battled through five innings and kept his team in the game. He allowed two earned runs over five innings of work, striking out two, and received a no decision. Nick Conway (1-0) came on in relief and allowed just one hit, retiring the last six men he faced to get the win.

Rich Gedman had his closer warming up to begin the top of the eighth and it was a good thing. Anthony Sullivan (2 SV) converted his second save in as many appearances striking out the side in the ninth.

Both SkyHawk runs were scored on sacrifice flies, one off the bat of Ryan Crespi in the first, and another off of David Adamchick in the second. The Houston Astros purchased regular first baseman and clean-up hitter Matt Weston’s contract this morning. Weston was assigned to the single A Lancaster JetHawks.

Tomorrow at a special 10:05am start for School’s Day in Sussex, Ryan Lobban (0-1) will start for Worcester. Opposing him will be Roger Lincoln (1-0) for Sussex
