The Redlegs dropped both ends of a double header to the
Wild Boars Baseball Club on Sunday. Despite outhitting
the Boars 17-16, the Redlegs just couldn’t scrape
together runs as well as the Boars who outscored Camden
10-4.
The Boars hit the ground running in game 1, scoring 3
times on Redleg starter Aaron Carmack. Carmack settled
in quickly though and allowed 0 hits over the next 3
frames while racking up 8 strikeouts over the first 4
innings. Unfortunately, the Redleg offense could only
must up 1 run through the first 4 innings, a run scoring
double by Saige Micomonaco by driving in Kyle Arend who
had earlier singled and stolen 2nd base.
The Boars then added some distance in the 5th, scoring 3
more times before Brad Mallot made a slick double play to
thwart any more runs from scoring. He fielded a hard
grounder at 2nd base while ranging to his right, then
quickly laid a tag on the baserunner and made a perfect
throw to 1st to complete the twin killing. Carmack then
struck out the final batter he faced to end the frame.
Luke Campbell then took over in relief and turned in two
great innings of work. He allowed just 1 hit and struck
out one Boars batter.
Matt Morrison singled to lead off the 6th before Jacob
Robinson smacked his first home run of the 2019 campaign
to bring the Redlegs within 4 runs at 7-3. That’s where
the scoring ended for Camden as they were unable to mount
any further comeback bid, recording no more hits and only
1 baserunner through the end of the game.
