WALDORF, Md. --The York Revolution suffered another stunning defeat, losing 11-10 on a bad hop single in the bottom of the ninth to the Southern Maryland Blue Crabs, in front of 3,986 fans at Regency Furniture Stadium.

It came after the Revs had fought back from a four-run deficit to tie the game in the top of the ninth inning.

York pitcher Dan Foli got ahead of Ketron to start the bottom of the ninth but ended up hitting him in the head with a pitched ball to put the winning run aboard.

Ketron stayed in the game and moved to second on Sandel's sacrifice bunt. That set the stage for Ramistella, who hit a chopper to shortstop. The ball was hit right at DeRenne who was ready and waiting, but it took a bad hop on the infield and shot over his head and into the outfield for the game-winning hit.

The loss is the fourth straight for York, who drops to 2-4 in the second half. Southern Maryland is now 5-1.

The Revs built a 6-0 lead in the game, before Southern Maryland scored 10 consecutive runs to take a 10-6 lead heading into the wild ninth inning.

Kennard Jones led off the game with a bloop triple to center, and scored on Keoni DeRenne's infield single, giving York a 1-0 lead in the first inning.

The Revs then exploded for five runs in a bat-around fifth. Southern Maryland starter Ryan Bicondoa had gone 13 straight batters without allowing a hit following DeRenne's infield single in the first, but Matt Dryer snapped that string with a hard single to

center.

The hit seemed to unravel Bicondoa's evening. Sandy Aracena followed with a single to left-center, and Sam Rosario with an infield single to load the bases with one out. Jones then drove a bases-clearing three-run triple to the gap in right-center, increasing it to a 4-0 lead.
