ML Game 25
Campbell's Boathouse 5
Gardner Fox 4
In their second meeting Campbell’s Boathouse battled
Gardner/Fox in a gripping, down-to-the-wire finish that, when the dust settled,
found the Boatsmen even for the season at .500 and walking away with a 5-4
victory.
In a game that saw no walks yielded, Shane Williams (7 K’s) and Kevin McGarvey
(10 K’s), both pitched strongly through 5 innings and gave their teams the
chance to win. In the end it was passed balls followed by throwing errors which
lead to opportunities that told the story. In the end, with the game on the line
and facing the middle of Gardner/Fox’s batting order, John Fender took the mound
and then control of the game in the bottom of the 6th inning, striking out 2 and
fielding the final out (1-3) himself.
Eric Poynton and Christian Miller lead Campbell’s hitting with a single and a
double each followed by Shane Williams who had two singles.
Hitting for Gradner/Fox were McGarvey (2 singles) and Brett Noble and Justin
Barker with a single each.
