AUBURN — It was a tale of two games.

Two completely different seven-inning games were played Monday at Falcon Park, or at least ones with opposite outcomes. The Auburn Doubledays had a tough time both offensively and defensively in the first contest against the Jamestown Jammers, falling 9-0, but it was the Jammers who faltered on both ends in the second game in Auburn’s 5-1 win.

Both games saw dominating pitching and explosive hitting flip-flopped between the two teams.

In game two, David Seaver came out on the mound in the third inning of the first game, in relief of Jamie Lehman, and shut down every Jammers batter but one. With the exception of a Chad Cregar first-pitch home run blast over the left-field wall in the seventh inning, Seaver allowed one hit — the first batter he faced — and fanned an astounding nine batters in five innings to earn his first professional win. Auburn also turned two double plays to retire every Jamestown batter until Cregar.

At the plate, Auburn collected 10 hits after faltering offensively during their recent three-game losing streak. Every Doubledays batter but Chris Hopkins in the leadoff spot reached base.

First baseman Brad Glenn scored two runs on two hits and had an RBI to lead the squad. Designated hitter Lance Durham and shortstop Jimmy Gonzalez also had two hits and an RBI apiece.

Geury Ramirez suffered his first loss of the season for Jamestown, after giving up all five Auburn runs — four in the third inning when the Doubledays batted around. After a one-out walk to Eric Eiland, Ramirez relented three straight hits before Jamestown manager Andy Haines pulled him for Matt Vieira, who lasted the next 2 2-3 innings. The Jammers also had two inconsequential errors in the loss.

While Jamestown may have been glad to have just a seven-inning second game, the first contest was as mercifully short for Auburn, as the Doubledays struggled at the hands of Jamestown pitcher Matt Montgomery for the second time this season. The first meeting against Montgomery lasted five innings as he allowed three hits and fanned two batters in a 7-0 Auburn loss. The Sun City, Calif. native threw four innings of lights out baseball, retiring batters in order until Eiland roped a double to left field. The Doubledays managed just two total hits at the plate as Montgomery earned his second win of the season.

It didn’t get much better defensively, as Auburn racked up more errors (three) than hits. Egan Smith picked up his first loss of the season after just 3 1-3 innings of work. Smith threw well in the first frame, striking out two and allowing one hit, but the Jammers scored in every inning but the sixth afterward. Steve Turnball and former University at Buffalo player Zach Anderson also struggled as Jamestown racked up 14 hits, including six for extra bases. Richard Orton paced Jamestown with two hits — one of five team doubles — and two runs. Sequoyah Stonecipher went 3-for-4 with two doubles and two runs scored.

Orton’s solo shot in the second gave the Jammers the early lead, but it was the team’s four-run third that busted the game open and made a Doubledays comeback seem unlikely.

With Jamestown one game behind Auburn in last place of the Pinckney Division, the two struggling clubs will meet today in the series’ rubber match. Auburn won the first series with Jamestown, 2-1 earlier this month.
