Phillies down Eagles

GLENS FALLS  John Mayotte saw the final three innings of Sunday’s game from an unusual perspective.

The Glens Falls head coach had a partially obstructed view from a bench just outside the front gate. He was later joined by outfielder Justin Zumwalde.

The two were ejected during the Golden Eagles’ 3-2 loss to the Saratoga Phillies at East Field. The Eagles were at odds with umpires for much of the game, most notably over a strike call in the sixth inning and a balk in the seventh.

But the Eagles also had themselves to blame. They ran their way out of two or three innings.

"We’ve made some baserunning mistakes the last few games," Mayotte said. "In close games, they hurt you. When you’re winning 12-7 (as the Eagles did Saturday night against Watertown), you don’t think anything about it afterwards."

The Phillies, on the other hand, were pretty efficient in getting the job done. Their pitchers worked out of several jams and they made the best of their six hits.

There was only one inning in which the Phillies had more than one hit. That was the fourth, when Mike Augustine drove in a run with the third straight single of the inning. A double play accounted for the second run.

That left the Golden Eagles down 2-1, and their frustrations grew from there.

In the sixth, Francisco Moreno led off with a single and Anthony Giansanti came up in bunting mode. He took a 3-2 pitch and began trotting to first when the strike call came.

After the inning, Mayotte stopped to talk with the home plate umpire about the strike call and was ejected.

"I don’t like (being ejected)," Mayotte said. "It’s the first time I’ve been kicked out in three or four years. It’s not something you like to do. You’ve got to protect your players if things are getting out of control."

In the top of the seventh, Matt Carvutto led off with a double and went to third on a sacrifice. With two outs, he scored the eventual game-winning run when Kellen Candau was called for a balk.

It looked like a standard "31" pickoff move, where the pitcher fakes to third and throws to first. According to Candau, the umpire said he stepped toward home on the throw to third, a decision Candau disputed.

"It wasn’t my best move, either," he said.

The Eagles scored a run in the eighth on a wild pitch, but the inning ended with Zumwalde taking a called third strike. He questioned the strike call and drew a line in the dirt, which will usually get you in trouble with the umpires. Zumwalde took a seat beside Mayotte outside the front gate.

Other failed opportunities, however, could only be blamed on the Eagles:

u In the second, Eric Phillips doubled, but was thrown out trying to make third base on an overthrow. It was not close.

u In the third, Conner Gandossy was doubled off second on a line drive to center field.

u In the sixth, Moreno tried to steal third with two outs and was cut down pretty easily.

The Eagles could at least take solace in their pitching. Starter Tony Dischler left after six innings and 78 pitches, having allowed only four hits and one walk.
