Campbell Halts Redlegs Skid with Gem

06/04/2012
 

Kevin Campbell followed up on the hill after Schaeffer’s performance and turned in a gem of his own. Campbell went the distance, allowing only 5 hits and striking out 7 while giving up only 1 run (unearned) in the game. Campbell was one out from a complete game shutout, but a fly ball that should have ended the game fell in for the Indians to get on the board.

The Redlegs took an early lead in the top of the 1st when Jack Millard led the game off with a double, and later scored after a couple of past balls that allowed him to move to third and eventually to home. After scoring another run in the 3rd, the Redlegs took control of the game in the 6th as they pushed 3 runs across. Steve Benthal led the inning off with a walk and stole 2nd base to get into scoring position. Brandon Burchfield then drove him in with a single, and later scored on an RBI single by Jared Bradley. Bradley then stole 2nd and later scored on a wild pitch. The Redlegs were then able to tack one more on in the 7th after Mattice led the inning off with a single and stole 2nd then later scored on a RBI single from Benthal.

The Redlegs take on a tough Miami Valley Cardinals squad next weekend at Action Sports Complex and will look to even up the record with a couple of wins.
