After a dominant series-opening win on Tuesday, the Staten Island FerryHawks dropped the next two games of their series against Frederick, 12-6, and 7-6 respectively, in Maryland on Wednesday and Thursday.

On Wednesday, Staten Island sent 22-year old Florida native Blake Loubier to the mound for his second start of the season. Loubier (0-2) gave up six earned runs on seven hits and was charged with the loss.

Staten Island scored two runs in the top of the second on a Jack Elliot RBI single and a sacrifice fly from Roldani Baldwin. Right-fielder Luis Castro added to that total with a three-run home run in the top of the sixth, his second of the season. But that wasn’t enough offense to keep up with Frederick, which tacked on another run in the fifth, two more in the seventh and two more in the home eighth.

On Thursday, the FerryHawks (11-18) jumped out early on Baldwin’s three-run homer in the second. Frederick bounced back, scoring one in the third and four more in the fifth as FerryHawk starter Jessie Remington ran into trouble.

The FerryHawks tied the score in the top of the seventh, fueled by Tottenville HS product Kevin Krause’s single but then a solo home run in the bottom of the seventh by one of the Atlantic League home-run leader, Craig Dedelow, off Parker Bugg gave Frederick (11-20) the lead.

But the FerryHawks weren’t ready to go away.

Frederick took a 6-5 lead into the ninth when FerryHawks third baseman Angel Aguilar tied the game on a dramatic solo home run to left field off of Frederick reliever Jack Weinberger. Frederick broke the deadlock in the bottom of the ninth on a game-winning, walk-off single by Kole Cottam off FerryHawk reliever Pedro Payano.
