Chaz Scoggins - RED HOT SPINNERS
LOWELL -- Not only is Mitch Dening a dynamic offensive player, he can make dynamite plays on defense, too.
The 19-year-old Australian right fielder, the New York-Penn League's seventh-leading hitter with a .325 average, threw out the tying run at the plate to snuff a Vermont rally in the sixth inning last night, and the sizzling Lowell Spinners held on to edge the free-falling Lake Monsters 3-2 in front of the usual SRO crowd of 5,030 at LeLacheur Park.
...
Hunter Strickland turned in his fifth straight strong performance to earn the win and raise his record to 4-2. Strickland threw just 54 pitches in five innings, allowing four hits, no walks, and one run while fanning four.
"His slider didn't have a real good tilt to it tonight, and they got a couple of hits off flat ones," DiSarcina said. "But he was confident, pitched in, and was efficient."
