In a rematch of the 2018 championship, the Redlegs and
Slammers met up for a 9 inning affair to open up the 2019
MVABL season.
Unfortunately, the Redlegs were still unable to solve
Jeff Beal as they could only muster 8 hits and one run
against the Slammers ace. Beal was able to strand 7
Redleg runners in his 8 inning outing.
The Redlegs got on the board in 6th inning when newcomer
Bradley Malott notched his first career hit with a one-
out single and later scored on a Slammers throwing error.
Adam Parks then tried to spark a rally by working a lead-
off walk in the top of the 9th with the Redlegs trailing
7-1. He did later score on a ground ball out by Jacob
Robinson, but that would be the end of the comeback
attempt.
Saige Micomonaco led the offense with a 2-3 effort,
adding a double and stolen base. Matt Morrison added 2
hits and Matt Mattice tripled in the loss.
Redlegs pitchers Aaron Carmack and Michael Cookson
started the season off on a strong note as each tossed 4
innings and allowed two earned runs each against the
potent Slammer offense. Cookson racked up 7 strikeouts
in relief in his Redlegs debut.
The Redlegs will look to get in the win column next week
(4/14) in a matchup with the Dayton Cardinals at
Gastineau Field at 4:00pm.
