AUGUSTA, NJ--- Worcester drops to 2-3 on the season after losing the opener against the defending CanAm champion SkyHawks 4-3. Tornado starter Ryan Mitchell (0-0) was ‘nickel and dimed’ with ten hits, all of them singles, in five and two thirds innings of work while striking out four. He left down 3-2 and was on the hook for the loss until Vinny Pennell’s two out double in the seventh scored Jeff LaHair with two outs to tie the game at three.
PJ Thomas (0-1) began the bottom half of the seventh by walking lead off man Ron Perodin; a mistake that would prove costly. Perodin moved up to second on an errant pick off throw from Thomas, then swiped third. He would score the eventual winning run on a Matt Weston single, his fourth of the night.
SkyHawk starter Mike Schellinger (0-0) surrendered two first inning runs to Worcester then settled down. He did not factor in the decision, but reliever Jamie Douglas (1-0) after pitching the top of the seventh. Sandy Nin (0-0) and Matt Petrusek (SV 1) also threw perfect frames for Sussex.
Game two of the series begins at 7:05 tomorrow night, ace Matt Weagle (0-0) will be in search of his first victory of 2009.
