The Redlegs finally got into the win column on Sunday with a
14-2 run rule victory over the Southern Ohio Stars. Eric
Jameson surpassed 300 career hits, moving him into 14th
place on the MVABL all-time hit list. Jacob Robinson became
the first player in league history to score 500 runs.
Ben Schooler ignored the fatigue of starting both of
Camden’s previous games, the last being just 4 days prior,
and tossed a gem to earn his first victory as a Redleg.
Schooler followed up his 10 strikeout night on Wednesday by
piling up 9 more against the Stars, while allowing just 5
hits and 0 earned runs over 7 innings of work.
Camden grabbed the early lead in the bottom of the 2nd when
Joey Watson reached on an error followed by a base hit by
Evan Koogler. James Robinson then played perfect small ball
by delivering a ground ball out to 2nd base scoring the
first run before Cody Saraco-Polner singled in another.
Cody later scored on a throwing error.
The Stars then took advantage of a Redleg error that scored
a pair of runs to close the gap, cutting the lead to 1 run.
Camden however would never relinquish the lead, and piled on
11 more runs over the next 5 frames. Schooler, meanwhile,
allowed only 3 more baserunners the rest of the way.
Eric Jameson and Cody Saraco-Polner paced the offense by
both contributing 2 hits and an RBI, Cody also stole his
first base of the season. Kyle Arend added a base hit,
while Evan Koogler and Jacob Robinson each added a hit and
stole a base. Robinson’s hit extended his team high hit
streak to 9 games.
Next up for the Redlegs (1-2) is the Wild Boars (4-0) in a
matchup at Howell Field on Sunday, April 30th at 1:00pm.
