Harrisburg extended their losing streak to three on Thursday, dropping their season record down to 2-8 in the process. They lost 15-4 to the Trinity Shamrocks. Unfortunately, that's the second time they've come up short against the Shamrocks this season, as they also lost their prior matchup 10-0 back in March.
Radal Penguero made the most of his time at bat despite the final result and went 2-for-3 with four RBI. Robert Martinez also deserves some recognition as he got his first hit of the season.
As for Trinity, they are on a roll lately: they've won six of their last eight games. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-3 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 2.9 runs on average over those games.
On Trinity's side, Jacob Varner looked comfortable as he struck out seven batters over four innings while giving up just two earned runs off six hits (and not a single walk). Varner has been consistent recently: he hasn't given up more than two walks in four consecutive appearances.
On the hitting side, Gavin Myers was a standout: he went 1-for-3 with one home run and three RBI. Those three RBI gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Trent Zoellner, who went a perfect 2-for-2 with two runs, one stolen base, and one RBI.
