Threshers Clobber Lakeland

Will the REAL Threshers Offense Please Stand Up

The schizophrenia that is the Threshers' offense showed itself again last night as the team broke out for eight runs and twelve hits after being held to just one run the previous game.

The Flying Tigers jumped on top of the Threshers early by picking up a run in the first inning, but the Threshers offense got going quickly, and Carlos Monasterios buckled down on the mound. Recently acquired from the Washington Nationals, Brian Finegan homered in his first at bat as a Threshers in the first inning followed by Michael Taylor who crushed a long ball as well to put the Threshers up 2-1 after one, and they would never look back.

The team added four runs in the fourth inning, and two more in the seventh to make the game 8-1 in the end. Quintin Berry extended his hitting streak to 30 games in the win, and Michael Taylor crushed another home run later in the game to give him two HR on the night.
