The Redlegs won their 5th consecutive contest on Sunday
as they knocked off the Wild Boars Baseball Club by a
final score of 11-6. With the win, the Redlegs stand
alone on top of the MVABL leaderboard for the first time
this season.
The Redlegs did a majority of their damage in the first 3
innings, jumping out to a 7-3 lead. In the 1st, Jacob
Robinson started things off with a walk and stole 2nd
base. Robinson then moved to 3rd on a wild pitch and
scored on a sacrifice fly from Brad Clark. Brandon
Howard then walked before singles from James Robinson and
Matt Morrison which loaded up the bases with 2 outs.
Howard would score on a wild pitch but an inning ending
strike out would get the Boars out of the jam. Mike
Hartman then singled two start the 2nd inning and was
driven in on a base hit by Matt Redman. Redman would
then score when Jacob Robinson singled. Brad Clark would
then drive in his 2nd run in as many innings with a base
hit.
The Boars offered some resistance in the top of the 3rd,
scoring 3 times with a little help from two Redleg
defensive miscues. But they took 2 back in the bottom
half of the 3rd. Mike Hartman singled and Tim Sullivan
was plunked to put runners on, both would later score on
a 2-out single by Jackson Millard.
Kevin Campbell got in on the action in the 5th, bringing
a run in to extend the lead to 8-3.
The Boars picked up another run in the 6th, but the
Redlegs added 3 of their own thanks to an RBI base hit
from Matt Morrison and a 2 run single by Greg Pfeiffer.
Matt Redman continued to pitch well over his 7 innings of
work, striking out 4 Boars hitters and walking only 1.
He gave up 4 runs in total but only 1 earned. Greg
Pfieffer took over in relief of Redman in the 8th but the
Boars were ready to rally. After two hits, two walks and
a Redleg error, the Boars had 2 runs in and the bases
loaded with two outs. With the score standing at 11-6,
Brad Clark would come into the save situation and he
promptly recorded a big strike out to get his team out of
the jam. Clark would also pitch a perfect 9th, punching
out two more Boars hitters in the process to preserve the
victory.
