The Redlegs picked up their 3rd and 4th straight wins with
the 2nd double header sweep in as many weeks.
Game 1 saw the Redlegs behind early on, as the Braves put up
a 4 spot in the top of the 2nd inning to take a 4-0 lead.
The lead was short lived however as the Redlegs sent 13 men
to the plate which yielded 9 runs in the home half of the
2nd. Brad Clark started things off with a walk, James
Robinson reached on error, and Matt Morrison singled to load
the bases. Matt Mattice then walked in a run before Jared
Bradley singled the 2nd run of the inning. Later with one
out, Jacob Robinson singled in a run and Jackson Millard
followed with a 2 run single. Clark drove a run home in his
2nd at bat of the inning and Matt Morrison got his 2nd hit
of the inning, this time plating the 9th run of the frame.
The Redlegs tacked 3 more on in the 4th highlighted by an
RBI double that almost cleared the right field fence off the
bat of Brandon Howard and a 2RBI single by Matt Mattice.
The Braves would threaten in the 5th, but Kevin Campbell was
able to come on and stop the damage after the Braves only
scored 3 runs. Campbell stayed on to pitch the 6th with the
score at 13-7 and he made quick work of the Braves as he
allowed one hit and struck out 3 batters which was good
enough to earn him the victory in relief.
The Redlegs added on some insurance in the 6th and 7th
innings. Matt Morrison drove a run home with a sacrifice
fly in the 7th before Mattice picked up his 4th RBI of the
game on a single.
Jared Bradley made his 2014 debut on the mound to finish
things up for the Redlegs in the 7th. Bradley was a little
rusty at first, walking 4 of the first 5 batters he faced,
but he settled in and was able to get a strikeout and pop
fly to end the game.
