On Friday, the Auburn Doubledays put 25 runs on the LeLacheur Park scoreboard while handing the Spinners a big-time butt-whipping that ended their playoff hopes.

But the Spinners certainly didn't look like a team that is playing out the string yesterday.

Lowell got a measure of revenge against the Doubledays, posting a 2-1 victory over Auburn in 11 innings in a New York-Penn League game.

Jeremy West doubled with one down in the bottom of the 11th and scored the winning run on Brandon Moss' single.

Brian Marshall pitched two scoreless innings of relief for Lowell, allowing only 1 hit, while earning his first win of the season.

Auburn blasted Lowell 25-4 on Friday.

The Spinners (37-33) will host Auburn (54-17) in their final home game of the summer today at 5 p.m at LeLacheur Park. Lowell will close out the season with three games at Vermont.

"I woke up this morning with a nasty taste in my mouth," said West. "(Friday's loss) was the worst defeat I've ever been apart of. I've never been beat so bad. None of us have.

"We may be done as far as the playoffs go, but this was our championship game. They pounded us yesterday. It was embarrassing to be on the field during a game like that. To come back from a loss like that and win today, there's no better feeling."

The win was especially satisfying for Spinner interim manager Lynn Jones, who earned his first victory in four games since taking over the club on an interim basis for Lowell skipper Jon Deeble.

After last Tuesday's game, Deeble returned home to Melbourne, Australia to be with his wife, Sharon, and newborn daughter, Kate, who was born prematurely on Aug. 19.

"I didn't know whether it would come," said Jones. "I was going to put in for a plane ticket for Deebs to get him back here. I'm just glad I'm able to pick him up because he has done a real good job this year."

After falling behind 1-0, Lowell evened the score with a run in the eighth.

With one down, Jon de Vries walked. Kevin "Scooter" Jordan pinch ran for de Vries and scored all the way from first when Zach Borowiak hit a grounder that was misplayed by Doubleday second baseman, Eugenio VanCamper and center fielder, AJ Porfirio.

"We had a gameplan there," said Jones. "I tried to utilize what I had on the bench and it's always nice to have a little speed on the bench.

"That's the things these guys have to understand. Anybody who is sitting in that dugout has to be ready to participate and help win a game. And Scooter was ready when we called on him."

West and Melvin Reyes had two hits each for Lowell.

Abe Alvarez, whom the Red Sox in the select in the second round this year's Major League amateur draft, started on the mound for Lowell, and tossed four shutout innings, allowing 2 hits and a walk while fanning 4.

Alvarez, a lefthander from Long Beach State, hasn't allowed an earned run and has 19 strikeouts in 19 innings this season.

Lowell also got a strong outing on the mound from Beau Vaughan, who only allowed 1 run in 5 innings.

"I can't say enough about our pitchers," said Jones. "They kept us in the ballgame. When there were opportunities for (Auburn) to score they made great pitches.

"The guys who took the hill for us today showed great composure. That's what you have to do at this level."

Auburn took a 1-0 lead in the sixth. Carlo Cota doubled and came around to score on a hit by Ryan Roberts.
