ML Game 55

Baker Printing 10
Campbell's Boathouse 9

 

Baker Printing won its 5th consecutive game with their 2nd come from behind victory in the past 3 games. Ryan Duplicki pitched great for Baker as he had a no hitter going through 4 innings with no hits and 7 strikeouts. Max Dougherty has his off speed pitches landing for strikes as he struck out 8 batters including 6 consecutive Baker hitters in the 1st and 2nd inning. Baker still managed to build a 7 to 0 lead off of hard throwing Max.

In the top of the 5th inning, Kyle Langan finally got to Duplicki with a bunt single that ignited Campbells with a 2 run rally that ran Duplicki out of pitches. The Campbell's rally continued in the top of the sixth as they smacked six hits and including the big blow, a 2 run home run bomb to left field by 11 year old Jake Fisher to give Campbell's 9-7 lead.

Baker wasted no time responding to the fierce rally in the bottom of the 6th as they had their top of the order up. Brian Virbitsky led off with a hard hit double down the 3rd base line. Then, Brendan Schramm hit a single to drive in Virbitsky and cut the lead to 1 run. Ryan Duplicki stepped up to the plate and blasted the second pitch all the way to the Continental Field for a walk off game winning home run! This was Duplicki's league leading 10th home run of the season.

Baker was led in hitting by Brian Virbitsky with 4 hits, 2 by Brendan Schramm, and hits from Jeffrey Lunger, Zak Summy, Luke Lombardi, Nick Palermo, Justin Ross and Russell Smith.
