ML Game 23

Moppert    12

Baker    2
 

This game was much closer than the score would indicate.  While Brian Bosco’s pitching was solid throughout, Baker managed to keep it close scoring runs in the 3^rd and 5^th innings on the aggressive and well thought out base running of Ian Campbell.

Moppert grabbed a 1 – 0 lead in the 1^st innings with a leadoff double by Conner McCarren and singles by Kyle Longacre and Adam Junkin.  This may have been a big inning if not for a fine double play by Baker’s infield.  Moppert created a little breathing room in the 3^rd inning by plating 3 runs and then added a couple more in the 4^th inning.  Even after 4 innings and Moppert leading 6-2 the game felt tight.  Finally the flood gates opened in the 5^th when Moppert offense really kicked.  Keys hits came from Jack Donoghue and Alex Abromowitz.   Baker’s offense came in the form of hits by Kyle Wenner, Eric McGough and Colin Campbell.
