The Redlegs recently wrapped up a game that was suspended
against the North Dayton Nightmare way back on 6/21 due
to a deluge that arrived in middle of the 5th inning.
The first part of the game was largely controlled by
Camden. Brandon Howard drove in the games first run when
he singled in Matt Morrison who started the game off with
a base hit. They added 3 more in the 3rd when Matt
Morrison doubled to start the frame, followed by a walk
to Jacob Robinson. Mike Hartman then deposited both
runners with a double. Camden would pick up another run
on a passed ball to make it 4-0.
Kevin Campbell started off hot, striking out the side in
the first as well as strikeouts in the 2nd and 3rd. But
the Nightmare finally found an answer to Campbell in the
fourth when they used 3 consecutive hits combined with a
Redleg error that resulted in 3 runs crossing the plate.
Leading 4-3, Camden came out hot in the top of the 5th.
Jacob Robinson, Mike Hartman, and Brandon Howard all
walked to load the bases and Brad Malott was able to
plate a run by hitting a grounder that was too hot to
handle for the Nightmare defense. James Robinson then
worked a bases loaded walk before Matt Mattice drove a
couple home with a double. After a strikeout, the rains
came and washed the game out, and after a little over a
month it was finally made up on Tuesday 8/4.
When the game resumed, the Nightmare were quickly able to
record the final out of the inning without incurring any
more damage. Still, Camden opened the new day with a
comfortable 8-3 lead.
Campbell returned to pick up where he left off, and he
was stellar over the final four frames of the game. He
allowed just 2 base runners and struck out 5 as he
blanked the Machine for the remainder of his outing. It
took a over a month, but he was able to turn in a
complete game victory while racking up 11 strikeouts and
allowing just the two earned runs.
Not that he needed any more run support, but Camden piled
on by scoring 9 more times over the final four frames as
they cruised to an 18-3 run rule victory. Brad Malott
contributed a two-run single in the 6th, followed by an
RBI double by Matt Mattice. Matt Morrison added an RBI
double in the 7th. In the 8th and final frame, James
Robinson, Jesse Jones, Cameron Svarda, and Matt Redman
all knocked in runs for the Redlegs.
