The Redlegs were able to even out their record at 2-2
with a game one victory over the Wild Boars on Sunday.
Kevin Campbell made his 2017 debut on the hill and was
outstanding right from the word go. Campbell tossed all
7 innings, allowed only 5 hits and 1 run (unearned) in
the complete game win.
The Redlegs struck first in the bottom of the 2nd when
Mike Hartman laced a leadoff triple into the right center
gap. Matt Mattice then knocked Hartman in with a single.
Boars starter Brandon Lucas then retired the next 3
batters in order to end the frame. Camden was then able
to extend the lead as they scored 3 more in the top of
the 3rd. Jacob Robinson started the inning with a base
hit and stole 2nd. Matt Morrison then drew a walk
followed by an RBI single by Kyle Arend. Lucas then
buckled down and recorded back-to-back strikeouts, which
brought Hartman back to the plate with 2 outs and 2 on.
Hartman delivered a 2 run single to give the Redlegs a 4-
0 lead. The Redlegs added on again in the top of the
4th, scoring once more to increase the lead to 5-0. Nick
Davis began the inning with a hit and Matt Redman later
walked to put two runners on the bases. Jacob Robinson
then drove Davis in with a base hit. Lucas was again
able to work out of a jam, retiring the next two batters
to escape the inning.
Campbell then hit the only bump in his outing in the
bottom of the 4th as the Boars used a hit, a walk, and a
Redleg miscue to push score their only run of the game.
The Redlegs got a couple of insurance runs in the top of
the 7th. Kyle Arend was hit by a pitch followed by a
walk to Brandon Howard. James Robinson then worked a
walk to load the bases with one out. After a strikeout,
Matt Mattice smacked a 2-run single to put his team up 7-
1.
Chris Musick doubled for the Boars in the bottom of the
7th, but Campbell was otherwise able to close out the
game on a quiet note.
