The Erie SeaWolves booked a trip to the Eastern League championship series on Thursday night, sweeping the Flying Squirrels in the first round behind a good start from Ty Madden, and a big-time display of power from 1B Chris Meyers.
After a quiet first inning, Ty Madden got into a little trouble in the second inning as a one-out single and then a walk gave the Flying Squirrels an early opportunity. Madden bounced back to strike out Carter Aldrete and then got a ground out to escape the jam.
The SeaWolves got two men on with two outs in the bottom half, but couldn’t score either.
