After suffering two tough losses in a row, Camden finally
got back in the win column on Sunday evening. They were
able to best the Mad River Machine 11-4 in 9 innings at
Actions Sports Complex in Dayton.
Aaron Carmack continued on his stellar 2020 campaign as
he blanked the Machine over the first 5 innings of the
game, allowing just one hit in the process.
Meanwhile, the offense backed him up and gave him plenty
of room to work. They got started in the 3rd inning
thanks to a nice little two-out rally. Jacob Robinson
singled and moved over to 3rd on a double by Mike
Hartman. Saige Micomonaco then blasted his 2nd homerun
of the season with a towering shot that sailed over the
fence in left-center field. Micomonaco struck again the
in the 5th when he singled in Mike Hartman, who had
singled earlier in the inning. Joey Watson then
delivered an RBI base hit to give Camden the 6-0 lead.
The Machine then finally got to Carmack in the 6th. They
used 5 consecutive hits to score 4 runs in the frame.
Brad Malott helped stifle the rally by snaring a liner at
2nd base and turned an easy double play on a runner who
was attempting a steal of 2nd base.
Carmack returned to in the 7th and turned in a 1-2-3
inning to finish off his day’s work. He now stands at 5-
1 with a 2.70 ERA on the season.
Cameron Svarda started the bottom of the 6th with a walk
and scored on a double by Jesse Jones. Camden then
turned in 4 more runs in the bottom of the 7th to push
the advantage to 11-4, which would stand as the final
score. James Robinson picked up an RBI single in the
frame and Jesse Jones delivered his 2nd RBI double in as
many innings.
Jones then tossed the final 2 innings to finish off the
game with little excitement. He yielded just 1 hit while
striking out two Machine batters.
