Staten Island Yankee right fielder Deangelo Mack takes his lead from second.

STATEN ISLAND, NY-When you’re hot, you’re hot. That’s the feeling the Rob Lyerly and the Baby Bombers had again following the third baseman’s clutch two out walkoff hit, sending Staten Island (5-6) to a 4-3 win over Aberdeen in 11 innings for its fourth consecutive victory last night before a fifth home sellout (7,171) in St. George.

“The pitchers did a great job getting the game,” the hero said in the winner’s dugout after being mobbed on the field by pumped up teammates. “We got 10 hits and everyone in the lineup hit and hit well. Great game. Great win.”

His big hit gave those who remained for all 11 innings following a 62-minute rain delay something to be happy about. And why not? After all, the loyal fans showed tremendous patience waiting for someone to break the 3-3 tie which lasted four and a half innings.

Till that point, right fielder Deangelo Mack’s sixth inning opposite field run scoring two-base hit seemed like forever by the time this well pitched game had reached the 11th. Would someone finally breakthrough? Aberdeen squandered chances in the ninth and 11th including leaving the bases loaded after Staten Island reliever Griffin Bailey momentarily lost the plate with two out. However, the righty recovered to fan Mike Mooney putting up another zero for the Baby Bombers’ pen.

Following a Kyle Higashioka one out walk, it didn’t look like much was doing when earlier RBI man Neil Medchill flied out for the second out. But like they’ve done during this streak, the gritty Bombers stayed with it thanks to a Mack clean single to center moving the winning run into scoring position. After pinch runner Emerson Landoni came in for Higashioka, first baseman Luke Murton put together a great at bat fouling off pitches before earning a walk to load the bases.

That set the stage for Lyerly, who wasted little time lining a sharp single to right off IronBirds reliever Jose Barajas, who took the loss.

“I was lucky to be up there. Just fortunate. Like I said, it’s not me. It’s God,” Lyerly observed.

“Kyle had a great at bat. D-Mac had a big hit. Murt had a great at bat. It was a great inning. When Mech hit the ball, I thought it was gone. But it was a great game. Great win. And I just feel blessed.“

The night started off well for the home club, who put up a quick two spot following a 1-2-3 first from 19 year-old starter Arodys Vizcaino, who in his third outing pitched well striking out seven in four frames- allowing a two-run homer to Mooney in the third. Otherwise, he was near perfect tossing 70 pitches.

Before Mooney went yard off the top of the right center wall, Staten Island jumped out in front thanks to Higashioka sacrifice fly and a Medchill RBI double just inside the first baseline, plating Zoilo Almonte after he’d swiped second.

With the game still tied, the IronBirds went ahead in the fifth off Bomber reliever Kelvin Perez courtesy of a Blake Davis sac fly. However, despite starting with a single and double with Perez even botching a pickoff that allowed Mooney to move to third, that’s all they could muster. Perez buckled down by getting Tom Baxter to ground out to short and then got Tyler Townsend swinging to escape further damage.

That was it for Aberdeen as Perez settled in tossing two scoreless before handing the ball over to Ryan Flannery (1 IP, 2 K’s), Ryan Marte (2 IP, 2 H, 3 K’s) and Bailey, who got the win despite loading the bases.

“We got a great group of guys. We’re getting along great. Having a lot of fun in the locker room,” Lyerly noted.

And even though we’ve been together for 12 games now or something, I feel like we’re really getting to know each other better and having a lot more fun.”

If they’re all like this, he could be onto something.

Notes: Staten Island pitchers combined to strikeout 15 IronBirds. On the flipside, Aberdeen pitchers only K’d five S.I. Yanks. … Ironbird starter Patrick Kantakevich pitched alright, holding the Bombers to just two runs though he walked four in four and two thirds. … Scott Mueller tossed two scoreless for the Birds before Barajas gave it up. … Four Bombers finished with multi-hit games including Higashioka, Medchill, Mack and speedy second baseman Jimmy Paredes, who swiped two more bases hiking his total to seven which is tied for the NY-Penn League lead.

… Due to the rain plus extras, the game took a combined four hours and 43 minutes (3:41). … Staten Island visits Lowell for three before the Spinners return the favor starting Saturday night on Independence Day with first pitch at 7 PM. Sunday’s game is a matinee and Monday concludes an odd half dozen against the Red Sox affiliate.
