Stott scores 3 as Cutters fall to Iron Birds

ABERDEEN, Md. –Phillies first-rounder Bryson Stott socked a home run to right field in his first at bat with the Williamsport Crosscutters and he drove in all three runs for the team in a 4-3 loss at the Aberdeen Ironbirds on Sunday afternoon.

Stott was the No. 14 selection overall in the 2019 draft out of UNLV. He had also homered in his first professional at bat with the Gulf Coast League Phillies-East last Tuesday. He pushed across the last run of the game with a bases loaded walk in the ninth.

Stott went 1 for 3 with a home run and three RBI while reaching base three times in five at-bats including being hit by a pitch and a walk.

Williamsport loaded the bases in the ninth inning with one out, but were not able to drive in any runs to end the game.

Nate Fassnacht reached base in four consecutive appearances on a single and three walks.

Starter Erik Miller (Round 4 in 2019, Stanford) and reliever Adam Leverett (Round 15 – Gordon State College) also received call-ups from the Gulf Coast League and made their respective Williamsport debuts.

Aberdeen’s Andrew Daschbach hit a two-run homer in the seventh off Leverett to break a 2-2 tie.

Tom Sutera is scheduled to take the mound today as the Crosscutters try to steal one at Aberdeen.
