O-Tigers complete sweep of Tri-City

Staff Report

Over 14 innings of baseball Sunday, the Oneonta Tigers allowed nary a run in sweeping a New York-Penn League doubleheader against the host Tri-City ValleyCats.

Oneonta won both seven-inning games by 3-0 scores and swept the three-game series. The Stedler Division-leading O-Tigers (13-8) have five shutouts in their first 21 games this season.

The teams' game Saturday at Damaschke Field was suspended because of rain with the ValleyCats leading, 6-4. Tri-City scored two runs in the seventh before heavy rains ended things with two outs and Erik Castro batting with the bases empty. That's where it will be picked up when the game continues. No date has been set for the continuation.

Following an off day today, the O-Tigers travel to Auburn for a three-game series before heading to Mahoning Valley for three games. Oneonta returns home July 20 to start a three-game set against Batavia.

Based on the numbers left-hander Adam Wilk has put up through four starts this season, there's no question he's emerged as the O-Tigers' No. 1 pitcher.

Wilk earned his professional victory, his first professional complete game and first professional shutout in the first game.

Wilk, drafted in the 11th round out in June of Long Beach State, limited Tri-City to four hits. He struck out five and walked one, but his ERA did not change. It remained at 0.00 over 18 innings this season. For the season, Wilk (1-0) has 19 strikeouts and two walks.

Oneonta (13-8) scored single runs in the fifth, sixth and seventh innings.

In the fifth inning, Wade Gaynor led off with a double to left against losing pitcher Colton Pitkin and took third on Matthew Mansilla's bunt single. Chris Sedon's one-out single to right scored Gaynor for a 1-0 lead.

Alexis Espinoza's RBI double to right in the sixth inning made it 2-0 and Michael Rockett hit an RBI single to center in the seventh inning to cap the scoring.

Rockett and Espinoza finished with two hits apiece.

In the second game, Clemente Mendoza and Kevan Hess combined on a six-hitter to lead Oneonta.

Mendoza (3-1) struck out two, walked one and allowed five hits over five innings. Hess went the final two innings to earn his fourth save. He allowed one hit, two hits and struck out one.

The Tigers opened the scoring with two runs in the fourth inning. Keith Hernandez hit an RBI single and Espinoza stole home.

Rawley Bishop's RBI groundout in the fifth inning plated the final run.

Hernandez finished with two hits.
