The Lake County Captains plated three runs in the seventh inning and three more in the eight to record an 8-3 victory over the Sky Carp Saturday night at ABC Supply Stadium.
The game featured a standing-room only crowd that was on hand to see a fantastic post-game drone show that left fans excited regardless of Saturday night’s outcome on the field.
The game was tied at 2-2 before the Captains went on their late-game run. Sky Carp starting pitcher Liomar Martinez was simply terrific, going 5 2-3 innings and allowing two runs while striking out a career-best. That mark represented a season-high for any individual Sky Carp pitcher.
The Sky Carp were trailing 2-0, but picked up a pair of clutch two out, RBI singles from Drew Faurot in the fifth and Jesus Hernandez in the sixth to tie the game up.
Juan Reynoso (2-2) took the loss for the Sky Carp. Hernandez and Cam Cannarella each finished with two hits to lead the team.
