DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Girard native and Brevard County Manatees reliever Tanner Poppe earned a save Friday night against the Daytona Cubs in his 2014 season debut at Jackie Robinson Ballpark.
Brevard County, a Class A advanced affiliate of the Milwaukee Brewers, defeated Daytona 4-3 in 10 innings, scoring the go-ahead run on a Garrett Cooper single.
In the bottom of the 10th, Brevard County called on Poppe, in relief of Michael Strong.
Bijan Rademacher greeted Poppe with a line drive single to right.
The Manatees gained two outs during Marco Hernandez’s at-bat.
No. 1, Rademacher was caught stealing by Brevard County catcher Cameron Garfield. No. 2, Poppe struck out Hernandez.
With two outs, Daytona managed back-to-back singles.
Gioskar Amaya singled to left and Pin-Chieh Chen singled to right.
However, Poppe’s glove and right arm contributed to the final out.
Albert Almora hit a comebacker to Poppe, who threw onto first baseman Cooper.
Game over.
Daytona defeated Brevard County 13-2 on Saturday and the teams close out their four-game home-and-home series Monday.
The Manatees then move on to a three-game mid-week series against Lakeland.
