Last night Strasburg (6-6) beat the Turks in a high-scoring 11-10 game. The Turks were down 8-1 after the first half of the third inning, but it wasn’t enough for the Express’ 3-run eighth inning.

Tyler Martin and Mo Landry lead the way for the Express. Martin went 3-for-6 with two runs and a RBI and Landry went 3-for-5 with three RBIs and two runs. Kyle McCann went 1-for-2 with a 3-run homer as well as an additional run scored for the Turks. Austin Embler went 1-for-4 with two RBIs and a run scored.

Brandon Quaranta entered the game as the left-fielder, but went onto the mound in the ninth to earn the save. Davis Kirkpatrick (1-1) took the loss for the Turks. This was his first loss of the season. He pitched two innings and gave up one earned run on two hits and added five strikeouts.
