  "account": "Erie SeaWolves catcher Kenny Serwa had a stellar performance on September 18, 2026, guiding his team to a 5-3 victory over the Richmond Flying Squirrels in an Eastern League matchup. The game began poorly for the SeaWolves, as right-handed pitcher Jackson Flora gave up four strikeouts in two perfect innings. However, lefty Jacob Bresnahan took over, and the team's offense started to take shape. Izaac Pacheco and E.J. Exposito set the tone with a single and a walk, respectively, followed by Seth Stephenson's sac bunt. The game took a turn in the fourth inning when Kaeden Kent hit a three-run shot to right field, giving the SeaWolves a 3-0 lead. The tide was turned in the sixth inning when Thayron Liranzo hit a monstrous three-run homer to left, tying the game at 3-3. Chris Meyers and Andrew Jenkins followed with an RBI double, and Luke Shliger walked, putting two runners on base. Marques Johnson walked Pacheco to load the bases, and a passed ball scored Meyers, putting Erie ahead 4-3. Serwa continued his pitching prowess in the seventh inning, walking to start the inning and then stealing second. After Graham struck out and Hope walked, Stephenson drove a ball to center field, scoring Stephenson on a sac fly and giving the SeaWolves a 5-3 lead. Moises Rodriguez sealed the win in the eighth inning, tossing a perfect frame, while Thayron Liranzo closed it out with a sacrifice fly in the ninth.",
