Redlegs Win Big in Nightcap, Force Game 3

09/19/2023
 

Game 2 was the odd ball of the series as it was all Camden from start to finish. After the Angels went up 2-0 in the top of the 1st, the Redlegs would pound out 15 unanswered runs in a game that was eventually shortened to 5 innings due to darkness.

Camden scored twice (both unearned) in the bottom of the 1st and then piled 6 runs on in the 3rd. Jacob Robinson doubled to start the big inning, followed by a Matt Mattice walk, a Ben Schooler hit by pitch, and an RBI walk by Mike Hartman. Evan Koogler then delivered an RBI single, followed by a 2- run double by Chris Flaherty. James Robinson then picked up his 4th RBI of the day with a sacrifice fly, followed by a sacrifice fly by Cody Saraco-Polner.

Camden followed the big 6-run 3rd with a 7-run 5th. Evan Koogler started things off with his first triple of the inning (you read that right), followed by a walk to James Robinson. Matt Redman came on as a pinch runner for Robinson and promptly swiped 2nd base forcing an overthrow which scored Koogler and moved Redman to 3rd. Cody Saraco- Polner singled in Redman, and Eric Jameson walked to put runners on 1st and 2nd. Jacob Robinson then punched a 2-run triple into the right-center gap. After Robinson scored on a passed ball, Ben Schooler started things back up with a double, followed by a walk to Mike Hartman when Evan Koogler launched his 2nd triple of the frame to plate both runners. With the game standing at 15-2 and darkness looming, the game was called final after 5 innings of play.

Evan Koogler was fantastic over 5 innings, scattering just 4 hits while striking out 4 Angels batter and allowing 2 runs (1 earned) in the outing.
