Savannah Sand Gnats 2014

Edgy MD Apr 04 2014 10:08 PM

John Gant is (a) a Savannah native, (b) an anagram of "Gnat," (c) unrelated to big league all-star Ron, I think, (d) your winning pitcher as the Gnats club the BlueClaws 10-1. Two top draft choice grace the Savannah roster this year, as Domonic Smith is a first and Gavin Cecchini at short. The former went 2-4 and scored twice, and the latter connected for a three-run homer. The real hitting star, though, was leftfielder Jared King with two two-run triples. LJ Mazzilli got a sacrifice fly, but was the only Met batter not to collect a hit and the first two games of the season have been shneidy for him thus far.

The Gnats swept a double hitter from Augusta today. L.J. Mazzilli drove in the winning run in game one with a bases-loaded walk, which is SUCH a Mazzilli thing to do.

2013 1st round draft pick Dominic Smith is still homerless this season w/only 7 2Bs among his 51 hits for an overall .260/.330/.296 line in the notoriously tough on LH power home park in Savannah. But the 19 y/o hit a much improved .320/.398/.360 in the month of May so he's getting his knocks for the 38-17 Sand Gnats and appears to have put a slow April start behind him.
