The Redlegs dropped to 0-2 after a weeknight loss to the
Springfield Angels on Wednesday night, falling by a final
score of 10-5. The Angels used some Redlegs miscues and
were able to circumvent the Camden defense with a variety of
perfectly placed base hits to keep them in threatening
position for most of the game.
The Angels took an early 1-0 lead in the top of the 1st, but
Camden reclaimed that lead in the bottom half. Max Ramsey
singled, followed by Kyle Arend reaching on an error. This
led to Ben Schooler swatting a 2-out 2-run double to bring
both runs home.
The Angels scored three times in the 3rd to take the lead
and they never looked back from there. Interestingly, Ben
Schooler racked up 10 strikeouts through his 5 innings of
work but the Angels were able to score enough to keep the
lead throughout.
Camden tried to make things interesting late by scoring
twice in the 6th and once in the 7th. Kyle Arend started
the rally in the 6th with a walk, followed by a double by
Mike Hartman. Ben Schooler and Matt Mattice then both
delivered RBI singles to cut into the deficit.
Tyler Schrock started the 7th with a double and later scored
on a fielding error, capping an impressive MVABL debut where
he went 3 for 3 with 2 doubles and a single. He also tossed
the final 2 frames, picking up 2 strikeouts and giving up no
earned runs. Matt Mattice helped his new teammate out,
snatching a line drive with a diving catch in center field
in the final frame.
Camden is back at it on Sunday at 1:00pm at Howell Field
against the Southern Ohio Stars.
