After snapping their four-game losing streak in a walk-off win on Monday night, the Ironmen hoped to keep that momentum going to begin their third winning streak of the season.

Enter Dean Wolosiansky and the West Virginia Miners.

Wolosiansky, who won four games at Ohio State in the spring, took a one-hitter into the sixth inning and the Miners 13-hit attack led to an 11-3 win over the Ironmen, at The Pipe Yard on Tuesday night, in front of 168 fans.

"It’s always nice to play against wood bats," Wolosiansky said. "Inside, out, location and mixing it up, it all seemed to work for me. It was a good time.

"(A lot of innings pitched) helps a lot. Any live innings always helps. Getting experience, working through and making adjustments on the mound. That’s what it is. You get a couple tough innings, or a couple tough pitches, and you make adjustments. That’s where you get better and that’s where you can take it to the next level."

Beside a second-inning single allowed to Austin Ingraham, Wolosiansky cruised the next three, before allowing a single to Evan Melendez in the sixth and a single to River McWilliams in the seventh. He finished with four strikeouts, three walks and a hit batter in seven innings pitched.

"We had some good timely hitting," Miners manager Tim Epling said. "We got some guys on base early and took advantage. Lorain did a good job. They hung in there. We were just able to get on them a little bit early.

"Anytime you can get a lead early in the game will make the pitcher more comfortable. We changed the line up around a lot this game and gave some guys some rest. Hopefully, we’ll be able to come out here and play a good game too."

The Ironmen got on the board in the bottom of the sixth inning to cut the deficit to 6-1. Mike Grieco walked and Melendez singled to start the inning, then advanced to second and third on a passed ball. Grieco scored on a groundout by Tony Brunetti. The run snapped a 13-inning scoreless streak by Wolosiansky.

Lorain County had a chance to score again in the bottom of the seventh, but a good throw from second baseman Isaak to catcher Mike Marietta nailed a sliding Nick Hamilton, who tried to score from first on McWilliams single down the right field line.

That’s when things got ugly.

The Miners batted around, scoring five more runs in the eighth inning.

The Miners scored first when Mike Marietta’s fielder’s choice scored Chris Holloway, who also reached on a fielder’s choice. Brandon Cantrill fielded Marietta’s grounder cleanly, but attempted to get Holloway at home, who slid home safely, instead of going to first base for the putout. That gave the Miners an early 1-0 lead.

They tacked on three runs in the second inning and took a 4-0 lead. Victor Ramos hit a double that went down the left field line, into the bullpen, scoring Gary Stafford from first base. Second baseman Nick Hamilton then missed a pickoff throw attempt from Cantrill, allowing Ramos to score and Joe Koch, who singled, went to third. Koch then scored on a sacrifice fly by Holloway.

Back-to-back-to-back singles for the Miners plated another run in the fifth. Travis Isaak, who went 4-for-5, singled and scored on a Phil Smith RBI single, then Jeremy Robinson, who singled, scored on a RBI double by Andrew Weaver.

The highlight of the game for the Ironmen came in the bottom of the eighth inning when Melendez tripled off the wall to score Grieco, who singled with one out. He then scored on a sacrifice fly by Brunetti.
