Columbia 3 - Hagerstown 2

Press Release:

HAGERSTOWN, MD – Zac Grotz returned to affiliated baseball on Friday and hurled 7.2 splendid innings of work. He and the Fireflies fell to Hagerstown, though, 3-2 in 10 innings.

Grotz was signed by the Mets this week after most of this season and 2017 pitching in independent leagues. The right-hander from California didn’t walk a batter and wound up striking out eight on Friday. He allowed just two earned runs before he was relieved with two outs in the eighth.

The game was tied, 2-2, into the 10th inning. Columbia (33-32) did not score in the top half and Armond Upshaw’s safety squeeze bunt in the home half scored the game-winning run (Jayner Baez) from third for Hagerstown (26-40). Aaron Ford (L, 2-1) took the loss and Steven Fuentes (W, 2-1) picked up the win.
