Stripers fall to 0-2 in playoff series as Ian Anderson struggles

Coming in down 0-1 in the series Gwinnett was looking to make an early statement, and they got off to the start of their dreams in the first inning. Ian Anderson mowed through the Clippers with three strikeouts in the first inning, and then on the first pitch he saw the Stripers’s leadoff man Ryan LaMarre laced a home run into the visitor’s bullpen.

Ian Anderson was in his top form for the early portions of this game, and it felt like a corner had been turned as he cruised through a 1-2-3 second inning and kept the ball on the ground for a perfect third.
