The Somerset Patriots, the Double-A affiliate of the New York Yankees inked out a 3-2 victory over Erie on Sunday, on the same afternoon Yankees No. 9 prospect Yoendrys Gomez returned from the injury list for his first Double-A action of the season.

Gomez, who started four games for the Patriots last season (1-0, 3.19 ERA in 16.1 innings of work), was solid in his first start of the year. He tossed three innings of shutout baseball. He faced only 10 batters and threw 38 pitches.

Unfortunately, Gomez did not factor into the decision, but the Patriots bullpen was up to the task, as the Pats built a 3-1 lead in the sixth inning.

Mickey Gasper was the man of the hour, platting three runs on a right field double off righty Billy Lescher to give Somerset that nice cushion.

After dropping four of the first five games of this series, the Patriots salvaged the finale and will head home to prep for a MONSTER series with the Portland SeaDogs that begins Tuesday at TD Bank Ballpark. Keep in mind on Saturday, the Patriots will commemorate 25 years of Patriots baseball at TD Bank.

Concert Companions: 10 Types Of People You'll Meet At Live Shows

• The Die-Hard Fan

  From the minute the concert begins, the die-hard fan’s energy level is at an entirely different level. They are the first to rise to their feet, pumping their fists in the air They know all the lyrics, and dance moves. And they are fully immersed in the music. They are often seen front and center, singing and dancing with a lot of energy.

• The Social Butterfly

  Concerts are seen to the social butterfly as an opportunity to socialize and make new friends. From the moment they arrive at the concert venue, the social butterfly exudes a warm and approachable aura. They strike up conversations with those around them, sharing their excitement and genuine enthusiasm for the music and the event.

• The Casual Observer

  These concertgoers are there to enjoy the music but prefer a more laid-back approach. They may not know every song, but they appreciate the experience and are content to relax and take it all in. You might see them nod along or tap their foot to the music, occasionally joining in during well-known choruses or catchy hooks.

  

• The Selfie-Addict

  For this person, attending a concert is all about capturing the perfect selfie or video to share on social media. They spend a significant amount of time taking photos, recording snippets of songs. From the moment they arrive at the concert venue, the selfie addict is armed with their smartphone or camera, ready to capture every moment. They meticulously plan their shots, searching for the best angles, lighting, and backgrounds to enhance their photos. They may even experiment with different poses, expressions, and even selfie sticks or tripods (if they can sneak them in) to ensure they get the perfect shot. They might need to be reminded that concerts are best experienced without a phone between their eyes and the stage. On the other hand, let them have their fun.

• The Mosh Pitter

  You know that person at a concert who just throws themselves into the craziness of the mosh pit? That’s the mosh pitter. They’re all about the energy, the excitement, and the physicality of the music. When the heavy tunes start blasting, you can find them right in the middle of the action. They’ll push, shove, jump, and even try their hand at crowd surfing. It’s like they’re tapping into some primal energy, just letting loose and going wild.

• The Dancer

  This person has an irresistible urge to dance to the music, regardless of their skill level. If you’re a “people-watcher,” the worse their dancing skills, the more fun you’ll have watching them. They can be seen moving to the beat with enthusiasm and encouraging others around them to join in the dance. An even if they’re terrible, it’s the thought that counts.

• The Super Fan

  They’re the ones who take fandom to a whole new level. The kind of person who lives and breathes for the artist or band performing. They’re like walking encyclopedias of everything related to their favorite musician. They might dress up like the artist, have handmade signs, or bring special props to show their unwavering support. You can see that they’ve been rehearsing for this show for weeks. Or months. Or years.

• The Critic

  This individual analyzes every aspect of the performance, from the artist’s stage presence to the sound quality. The concert critic isn’t afraid to point out areas where the performance fell short or could have been better. But they also make sure to highlight the artist’s strengths and any standout moments that deserve recognition. They might even engage in discussions with fellow concertgoers, debating the artist’s performance or comparing it to previous shows. (They might forget that they’re there to have a good time.)

• The Wallflower

  These individuals prefer to observe from a distance rather than actively participate. They may be shy or simply enjoy the music in a calmer manner, quietly enjoying the concert experience. While the more energetic concertgoers are dancing, jumping, and singing along, the wallflower tends to sway to the music in their own subtle rhythm. They’re not the type to scream or shout, but you can see the appreciation on their face as they close their eyes and get lost in the melodies.

• The Party Animal

  The party animal is an expert at making the most of every moment. Concerts are seen as an opportunity to let loose and have a wild time for them. They often arrive in groups, bring their own party supplies, and are usually the life of the after-party. They’re not afraid to sing at the top of their lungs, even if they don’t know all the lyrics perfectly. They’re there to have a good time, and they make sure everyone around them is having a blast too. You might want to avoid them, especially during ballads. Unless you’re into hearing loud off-key vocals (that may not even get the lyrics right).
