CLEARWATER, Fla. - John Richy turned in a quality outing for the Clearwater Threshers on Sunday night, but the Threshers offense was limited to just one run in suffering a 6-1 loss to the Brevard County Manatees before a season-high 9,012 fans at Bright House Field.

Scott Kingery collected two hits, including his Florida State League-leading 26th double of the season, extending his on-base streak to 14 consecutive games. Chace Numata led the offense with three hits, finishing a homer short of the cycle.

After Richy hurled three scoreless to open the outing, Brevard County (2-8) pushed home the game's first run in the fourth.

Elvis Rubio doubled with one out, and Clint Coulter followed with a flair that settled into a shallow right for a single, scoring Rubio.

An inning later, the Manatees put two men on with two outs, and Dustin DeMuth lined a single to left. Herlis Rodriguez charged in and fired a strike home to Numata, with the throw beating the runner Malik Collymore by plenty, but third baseman Mitch Walding was called for interference on the play, permitting the run to score.

George Iskendarian's home run in the sixth inning made it 3-0, as Iskenderian went yard for the second-straight game. After a pair of singles, Omar Garcia knocked a hit to left and this time a perfect throw from Rodriguez nabbed Dustin Houle at the plate uncontested.

Richy (2-4) gave Clearwater six innings and held the Manatees to three runs on eight hits and a pair of walks. He struck out four, and hurled 64 of his 92 pitches for strikes.

Clearwater (6-5) inched closer in the eighth.

Kingery got it going with a single through the right side and swiped second, his 22nd steal of the year. Kyle Martin then chopped an infield hit to second to put runners at the corners and bring the tying run to the plate.

Brevard County called in closer Jon Olczak, and Zach Green lifted a sacrifice fly to left to bring home Kingery and cut the deficit to 3-1. Olczak managed to induce a strikeout and a grounder to third to end the inning.

The Manatees pulled away in the ninth when Jose Cuas struck out but reached on a wild pitch, and would later score on a second wild pitch. Rubio added a bloop to left for a two-run single to put the Manatees up 6-1.

Clearwater aims to bounce back on Monday as the Threshers battle the Lakeland Flying Tigers at 12 p.m. at Henley Field. Yacksel Rios (2-2) is scheduled to take the mound against AJ Ladwig (8-5), and the game will be broadcast live on the Threshers Broadcast Network starting at 11:45 a.m.
