The Staten Island Yankee bats continue to remain hot. They bounced back from a 5-2 home defeat to Brooklyn by outslugging the Lowell Spinners 8-6 in Massachusetts last night.

Baby Bomber shortstop Addison Maruszak got the scoring started with a leadoff home run to tie teammate Brian Baisley for the club lead with his fourth. It was part of a big night in which the 21 year-old from South Florida finished 3-for-5 with three runs and three knocked in.

After starter Casey Erickson got the Spinners in order getting the last two swinging, the S.I. Yanks batted around for five runs off Matt Goodson. With the bases stacked and one out, Maruszak delivered a two-run base hit KO-ing the Lowell starter. Second baseman David Adams greeted losing reliever Drake Britton by depositing a three-run home run over the left field wall for his second of the summer and a six-run lead.

Erickson continued to dominate striking out the side in the second en route to a season best nine K’s in four innings of one-run ball. The performance followed up five scoreless and six K’s at Jamestown.

However, with the starter replaced by Nick Asselin, Lowell spun back with a five-run fifth to tie it off the ineffective reliever who lasted only one third being charged with all five after permitting three hits and plunking two batsmen. A Rafael Cabrera two-run single cut it to 6-3. Two batters later, Kade Keowen followed suit with a run scoring hit forcing Pat McMahon to opt for Andy Shive. After a walk and a strikeout, Shive allowed a Rafael Gil two-run single which tied it at six. He got out of further trouble by fanning Ryan Dent.

Shive settled down tossing a 1-2-3 sixth finishing with one and two thirds scoreless on a hit, walk and three K’s to pickup his fifth win.

With the contest knotted, the McNamara Division-leading Bombers plated a couple in the seventh off Britton, who was in his fifth inning of relief. Maruszak and Baisley each singled putting runners on first and second but moved up a base on third baseman Mike Lyon’s fielder’s choice for the second out. Left fielder Dan Brewer came through with a clutch two out base hit to right scoring the go-ahead run.

Catcher Mitch Abeita delivered an insurance tally off new pitcher Seth Garrison with an RBI single to left scoring Baisley but Lyon was pegged out at home 7-2 trying for more. Garrison got Melky Mesa swinging to end it.

Daniel Kapala worked two effective scoreless frames setting up Brad Rulon, who pitched around a single to strikeout the side for his second save.
