The Redlegs squared off against the Dayton Dragons in a
double header on Sunday, marking the first time these two
clubs have matched up this season. In game 1 the Redlegs
sent Kevin Schaeffer to the mound, making his first start
since April 25th where he had a no decision against the
Dayton Rangers. The Redlegs provided plenty of run support
behind Schaeffer despite him turning in a fantastic outing.
Schaeffer went 6 innings allowing only 2 earned runs, 4 hits
and had 8 strikeouts. Every Redleg had at least 1 RBI on
the day.
The Redlegs got on the board in top of the 1st inning when
Kevin Campbell drew a bases loaded walk to bring in Taylor
Guntle, who had reached on an error earlier in the inning.
In the top of the 2nd Derek Graham scored on a single from
Guntle to give the Redlegs a 2-0 lead. In the 3rd the
Redlegs pushed 2 more runs across starting with a walk to
Kevin Campbell, an RBI double from Kevin Schaeffer, and an
RBI single by Brad Clark. In the 4th the Redlegs blew
things open by pushing 5 more runs across to push their
advantage to 9-0. Things got started with a leadoff triple
off the bat of Jacob Robinson, followed by an RBI single
from Jared Bradley. Bradley then stole second, and went to
third on a Taylor Guntle single. John Long then knocked
Bradley in with a sacrifice fly. Brandon Howard then got an
RBI single, and later scored on an RBI from Kevin Campbell.
The Dragons got on the board in the bottom of the 5th. Gary
Robinson and Dustin Cope singled, and were later driven in
on a single from Heath West, and an RBI from Brian Bay.
But the Redlegs offense wasn't finished yet. In the 6th
John Long led off with a single, Campbell walked, and
Schaeffer later drove Long in with a sacrifice fly. Derek
Graham drove Campbell in with a single to push the lead to
11-2. The Redlegs then got three more in the 7th. Long
started things off with a double and was driven in on a
single from Howard. After a walk to Campbell, Brad Clark
singled both runners in to finish the games scoring.
