York Revolution 7, Lexington Legends 6
(August 10, 2025 – York, Pa.): Jeremy Arocho’s ninth inning double capped a stirring late game comeback by the York Revolution who grabbed a thrilling 7-6 walk-off win over the Lexington Legends on Sunday afternoon at WellSpan Park.
York led 3-1 much of the day until Lexington took advantage of a defensive miscue in the seventh, scoring five times to take a stunning 6-3 lead.
The Revs came up with a gut check response, started when Caleb McNeely blasted a solo homer to left center in the bottom of the seventh, cutting it to 6-4.
Justin Connell led off the bottom of the eighth by smashing a base hit past the third baseman. Two batters later, Shayne Fontana fouled off four two-strike fastballs away. That prompted a fastball in from reliever Carson Lambert, and Fontana turned it around for a game-tying two-run homer on a line drive missile that rocketed onto the porch in right, deadlocking things at 6-6 in dramatic fashion.
McNeely (4-for-4) led off the bottom of the ninth with a single to left and drew an errant pickoff attempt from Legends closer Jonathan Haab (2-4) to put the winning run at second. Two batters later, Arocho lined a one-out opposite field double to left, sending McNeely sprinting around third with the game-winner and a pack of Revs racing out of the dugout to drill Arocho with the celebratory ice bath while ripping off his jersey.
Lexington plated an unearned run in the first after starter Kevin Miranda had two quick outs. Curtis Terry kept the inning alive with a single and EJ Cumbo bunted for a hit with a throwing error on the play. A second error on a grounder to short resulted in the game’s first run.
That was the only run allowed by Miranda who scattered seven hits and did not walk a batter in his five innings. He struck out three and threw 54 of 79 pitches for strikes in the no-decision.
York built a 3-1 lead in the bottom of the third. McNeely and Jalen Miller led off with singles, and Arocho’s bunt hit prompted a throwing error by Legends starter Christian Edwards, allowing the tying run to score. A balk and an RBI groundout by Fontana brought home two more.
Danny Denz replaced Miranda in the sixth and recorded a flyout in between a base hit and a walk. Josh Mollerus entered and notched the final two outs, stranding two before returning for the first two outs of the seventh.
Terry again kept an inning alive with a two-out single in the seventh, summoning lefty Ian Churchill who walked Cumbo. Churchill appeared to be out of the inning unscathed on a grounder to short, but a mental mistake occurred as Jeffrey Wehler looked toward third before throwing to second at which point Cumbo beat the attempted force to prolong the inning. Lexington took full advantage as Andy Atwood drove a three-run double to deep center for a 4-3 lead, and Ryan McCarthy connected on an opposite field two-run homer to left center making it a 6-3 game, but the Revs resiliently answered in dramatic fashion with their own comeback.
Nick Mikolajchak struck out the side in the top of the eighth and Brendan Cellucci (1-0) earned the win with a perfect ninth, his fifth consecutive scoreless outing to begin his Revs tenure.
Notes: The walk-off win is the fourth of the season for the Revs. They also improve to 14-5 in last at-bat decisions, 9-5 in games tied headed to the final frame, and 28-16 in comeback decisions. It was their sixth win of the year when trailing after seven. York wins the rubber match of the series and goes 4-2 against Lexington in the season series. The Revs salvage a 3-3 homestand. Miranda has not walked a batter in his last two starts and has allowed just two earned runs in his past 10.2 innings. Churchill lost a Revs’ season-best 12-appearance scoreless streak, charged with four earned runs; he had allowed just four earned runs total in 22.1 innings (1.61 ERA) over his previous 24 outings since the beginning of June. Mikolajchak was scoreless for the fifth time in six outings and struck out the side for the third time in his last five appearances, totaling 12 strikeouts in his last 5.0 innings. Cellucci has retired 15 of 17 batters in his five outings. Arocho went 3-for-5 with a pair of bunt hits, giving him six bunt hits on the year. Connell walked twice and reached three of four times in his first game with York since May 27; he has now walked 26 times compared to just 16 strikeouts with York. McNeely becomes the 19th different player to homer for the Revs this season while notching his third career four-hit game.
Up Next: The Revs travel to Long Island to open a six-game road trip beginning Tuesday night at 6:35 p.m. York lefty Mike Kickham starts the opener against the Ducks. Revs fans can catch the action live on SportsRadio 98.9 FM & 1350 WOYK, 989woyk.com, The New WOYK app, and FloBaseball.TV beginning at 6:15 p.m.
Lancaster Stormers 3, Staten Island FerryHawks 2
The Lancaster offense struck for three runs in the top of the third inning on Sunday afternoon. Thanks to a stingy pitching staff and some clutch defensive plays, those runs held up.
Joseph Carpenter made a game saving catch in the top of the eighth inning, and Scott Engler pitched a 1-2-3 ninth on only four offerings as the Stormers completed a three-game sweep over the Staten Island FerryHawks, 3-2, Sunday afternoon at Community Park.
The Stormers took temporary possession of first place in the North Division with the win, pending the outcome of Long Island’s game at Hagerstown later on Sunday.
In the third, Carpenter lined a two-out single to left center to open the rally. Nick Lucky floated a double down the left field line to chase Carpenter to third. Both runners scored on a single up the middle by Kevin Watson, Jr. Ryan Kehoe (2-1) walked Alex Isola and hit Andrew Semo with a pitch to load the bases. Evan Alexander forced home a third run with a walk before Slater Schield flied out to end the inning.
Overall, the Stormers left 13 runners on base in the first seven innings.
While it was not a great day for the lumber, it was for the leather. Watson made a leaping catch against the center field wall to take extra bases away from Alberto Osuna in the second. Isola cut down Cristhian Rodriguez on a steal attempt in the fourth. Mason Martin made a perfect throw from right field to gun down Tyler Dearden looking for a double in the sixth inning.
It was Carpenter’s play that most noticeably saved the afternoon. Following a leadoff walk to Drew Maggi in the eighth inning, Vaun Brown smoked a liner headed for the right field corner. Carpenter reacted quickly with the leaping catch, and Maggi had no opportunity to return to the bag safely. Kolby Johnson followed with an infield single, but Jackson Rees retired Mark Contreras on a grounder to third to close the inning.
Engler got the side in order for his second save.
Michael McAvene (5-3) made the start for Lancaster. He yielded a first inning homer to Contreras and an RBI single by Pablo Sandoval in the fourth. The right-hander finished the afternoon, giving up seven hits and two runs while walking none and striking out five.
Lancaster will send Noah Bremer (6-2) to the mound on Tuesday at Southern Maryland. Fans may follow the action on FloBaseball, beginning at 6:30.
NOTES: Matt Swarmer pitched the sixth, his first game action since May 21…Max Green pitched a perfect seventh…Engler and Rees rank second and third in the league in appearances with 43 and 42, respectively…The Stormers have put together their second five-game winning streak of the season…The other was June 5-10…The bullpen has allowed only one earned run in 17.1 innings in the streak.
Southern Maryland Blue Crabs 2, High Point Rockers 1
HIGH POINT, N.C. – Hits were hard to come by at Truist Point on Sunday afternoon with each team collecting just three but Southern Maryland took a 2-1 win in the series finale over the High Point Rockers.
Southern Maryland’s Brett Barrera hit a two-run double in the sixth inning to overcome a 1-0 deficit and provide the winning margin for the Blue Crabs.
The Rockers are now 57-36 on the season and 16-14 in the second half. Southern Maryland improved to 49-43 and 13-16. High Point is in third place in the Atlantic League’s South Division in the second half, trailing Gastonia (19-11) and Lexington (17-12).
The Rockers tallied their lone run when Luis Gonzalez opened the Rockers’ half of the first inning with a double to center and then trotted home when Ben Aklinski followed with a double into the left field corner to give High Point an early 1-0 lead.
High Point starter Ben Wereski (0-2) retired the first eight men he faced before allowing a single to Giovanni Digiacomo with two outs in the third. Wereski would set down 12 of the first 13 batters he faced through four innings.
Southern Maryland starter Jalen Miller (W, 8-4) proved to be an escape artist. He came out unscathed in the fourth when he put two Rockers on base with nobody out and then walked the bases loaded in the fifth yet held the Rockers without a run.
The Blue Crabs took a 2-1 lead in the sixth when Wereski walked Digiacomo and allowed a bunt single to Jackson Loftin. After a sac bunt from Lyle Lin, Brett Barrera hit a two-run double to the left-center gap to plate both runners.
Both bullpens were nearly unhittable. David Hess tossed two scoreless innings for the Rockers and Jake Gilbert put the Crabs down in order in the ninth. The Rockers did not get a base hit after the fourth inning with four Southern Maryland relievers preventing the Rockers from getting a base runner past second base. Andre Scrubb notched his 12th save of the season with a three-up, three-down ninth inning.
The Rockers will have an off-day on Monday before venturing to Charleston, West Virginia for a six-game series with the Dirty Birds starting Tuesday night.
NOTES: Rockers catcher Jack Conley retired following Sunday’s game . . . Conley joined the Rockers back in May after playing in Mexico at the start of the 2025 season . . . The former NC State player was a key part of Lancaster’s 2023 ALPB Championship team in a season in which he set the league record for stolen bases by a catcher with 29 . . . The Rockers are now 20-8-1 in series this year.
