The SeaWolves outlasted the Yard Goats 5-4 on the strength of E.J. Exposito's power, holding a narrow edge in the hit column despite a dominant pitching performance from Connecticut's Connor Staine. SeaWolves improved to 66-46 while the Yard Goats dropped to 55-57, with both teams set to meet again on Sunday.
The SeaWolves got just enough offense to slip past the Yard Goats 5-4, with Exposito providing the big blow: a home run and an RBI that proved decisive in a tight contest.
SeaWolves scraped together eight hits to the Yard Goats' seven, a marginal advantage that held up through nine innings.
Staine was locked in for the Yard Goats, allowing just one run over five innings while striking out six, but the support never arrived when needed.
The SeaWolves are losers of 2 straight, 6-4 over their last 10. The Yard Goats are coming off a loss, 3-7 over their last 10.
The SeaWolves are up next at Curve (Aug 27-29). The Yard Goats are up next at Fisher Cats (Aug 27-29).
Ranked by win probability added: how far each player's plays moved this game's odds, not how their box-score line reads. A single with the bases loaded in the ninth outranks a home run in a blowout, because that is what actually decided it.
Runs by inning across the top, then every batter and pitcher underneath. The pills switch clubs; the totals column is each side’s own line, not a comparison.
