Dillon Dingler homers as Erie downs Richmond
Erie SeaWolves 11, Richmond Flying Squirrels 1 (box)
I’m still unsure what happened to the Erie SeaWolves pitching staff this season, but it remains a hot mess down there even when a top prospect starter has a good game. Wilmer Flores tossed five innings of one-run ball with only a solo home run as the sole hit allowed. He struck out eight Squirrels. We should be looking at this as a killer start, but Flores walked five batters in this game, an ugly trend that continues to hold him, as well as Ty Madden and Keider Montero back lately.
Anyway, he allowed one run so we’ll take it, but somehow Erie’s pitching department hasn’t gotten the control the strike zone memo yet.
