LAKEWOOD, NJ - Franklyn Kilome threw 4.1 scoreless innings in game two of the double-header and the BlueClaws made a two-run second inning hold up as Lakewood topped Greenville 2-1 on Monday, earning a split of the double-header after the Drive won the first game 5-3.

The BlueClaws (7-17) took three of four games from Greenville (11-13) and won their first series of the year in the process.

Lakewood's game two runs came courtesy of an RBI single by Jan Hernandez and an RBI double by Austin Bossart. Kilome came out in the fifth, but Zach Morris (1-1) got five outs and despite allowing a run in the seventh inning, Robert Tasin earned his third save.

In game one, Greenville scored four times in the first inning, two on a triple by Kyri Washington, off BlueClaws starter Jose Taveras to take a 4-0 lead. Lakewood cut the lead to 4-3 but a Greenville run in the seventh provided the final margin.

Angelo Leclerc (2-1) earned the win with two scoreless innings of relief while Bobby Poyner got his third save.

Emmanuel Marrero and Joel Fisher each had two hits for the BlueClaws while Tate Matheney had two hits and two RBIs for the Drive.

The BlueClaws head to Asheville and open a series with the Tourists on Wednesday night at 7:05 pm. LHP Tyler Gilbert (0-2) starts for Lakewood.
