DOUBLE A

Trenton Thunder (64-70) defeat Harrisburg Senators (49-84) 7-3

The Thunder jumped out to an early lead against the lowly Senators, scoring in each of the first four innings, including four runs in the second inning.  Trenton did not allow Austin Voth to record an out in the second inning before being pulled. Jake Cave got things going with a lead-off home run in the first. He was the only Thunder player with multiple hits (2) and is now hitting .270. Rob Segedin hit his eighth home run in the fourth inning and drew three walks from the clean-up spot. Yankees top pitching prospect, Luis Severino made the start and went two and two-thirds innings, allowing a run on four hits. He struck out two. Despite giving up the run, Severino’s ERA sits at a cool 2.66. The bullpen came in to relieve Severino and blanked Harrisburg until James Pazos allowed two runs in the ninth. Cesar Cabral picked up his first win for the Thunder.

Trenton will be the last stop for the twenty-year-old Severino this season, but if he can finish 2014 on a high note, he should be in Scranton early next season if he doesn’t start the season with the RailRiders.

Dan Camarena (1-6, 6.53 ERA) looks to get on track when the Thunder go for their fifth straight win Monday when they open a four-game road series against the Akron RubberDucks. Cody Anderson (4-9, 4.76 ERA) will be on the mound for Akron. First pitch from Canal Park is slated for 7:05.
