The Redlegs got their 2nd dose of baseball in 3 days as they
took on the Beavercreek Sox at Rotary Park at 8:30pm Tuesday
night. Sox pitching kept the bats quiet all night for the
Redlegs, as they could only muster 4 hits for the 2nd straight
game. Jon Venters returned from the Independent League to
start against the Redlegs and promptly mowed down 8 batters in
3 innings of work, giving up only one run on a double by Brian
Kuhbander after Kevin Campbell reached on an error. The bats
didn’t heat up against the Sox relief either, Wes Rehmert
relieved Venters in the 4th and racked up 9 strikeouts of his
own over the final four innings. Kuhbander was the only
Redleg to not strikeout in the game.
The Redlegs hope to rebound Sunday as the lock up with the
Shockers and Cardinals at 1:00 and 4:00 in a split double
header at Preble Shawnee High School. Both teams will have
revenge on the mind as they have both fallen to the Camden
Club earlier in the season.
