From the desk: THE SURF AVENUE SLUGGERS
BROOKLYN leads WILMINGTON; 1-0
I - BRK 8; WIL 6
Francisco Alvarez Turns Game Around With Three-Run Knock; Ronny Mauricio Drives Home Three
Wilmington returns to Coney Island and wastes no time getting on the board against starter Jaison Vilera for two runs in three hits in the first and two more runs on another three hits in the second.
But the Surf Avenue sluggers get their pitcher off the hook with a five-run outburst in the third. First baseman Joe Genord scores on a fielder's choice, Ronny Mauricio drives home a run, and Francisco Alvarez caps off the frame with a three-run home run.
Mauricio drives home two more runs during a three-run fourth.
Jaison Vilera exits on the winning side of an 8-4 game, allowing four runs on six hits and two walks with three strikeouts through five for the win, his second this season against five losses with a ghastly 8.24 ERA.
The bullpen yields two runs over four innings pitched with six strikeouts. Right-hander Josh Hejka earns the save.
