In game 1 of the July 16th double header against the Wild
Boars, the Redlegs were part of a 1-0 game for the 2nd
time this season. Previously on the losing end against
the South Dayton Slammers back in June, this time they
would prevail in walk off fashion. Before this season,
the Redlegs had never been on either end of a 1-0 game.
Aaron Carmack turned in another great outing as he
outdueled Joseph Wilson of the Boars to earn the win.
Carmack went the distance, tossing all 7 innings allowing
only 5 hits while striking out 5 Boars batters. It was
also his 2nd career complete game shutout.
Carmack had some noteworthy defense behind him as the
Redlegs backed him up with solid defense all day long.
In the 2nd inning, Matt Redman ranged deep to his left at
2nd base and fielded a grounder at the edge of the
outfield grass before performing a perfect pirouette and
throw to get the runner by a step, which ended up helping
to strand two runners in the inning. Kyle Arend made a
great sliding catch near the foul line to take a hit away
from Zach Carroll in left field in the 3rd. Later in the
top of the 7th with 2 outs, Mike Hartman charged in on a
slow grounder and made the barehanded pick and running
throw to nail Joe Cantrell and prevent any possible
rally.
With the offense quiet for most of the game, James
Robinson sparked the rally that eventually led to the
win. James singled with one out and Ryan Gross walked
moving James up to 2nd. Matt Redman then hit a line
drive to centerfield and Robinson was able to turn on the
burners and slide into home, beating the throw and
sealing off the victory.
