CL Game 19
Orioles (Rose Tree Fire Company) 12
A's (Sposato Homes) 11
It was standing room only as the A’s and O’s meet for the second time in 6 days. The fans got to see another well played baseball game that came down to the bottom of the 6th once again.
Both teams put the ball into play forcing the other team to make the outs in the
field.
First Inning:
The Orioles first nine hitters put the ball into play. Fine fielding by the A’s
got 3 outs.
The A’s first seven
hitters put the ball into play. Matt at 3rd threw out a runner at first. End of
1st. (O’s 4, A’s 1)
Second Inning:
The Orioles six batters put the ball in play. Brendan made two of the three
fielding outs at first.
The A’s batters saw
another third to first put out as Flynn threw from third to Sebastian at first
for an out. (O’s 5, A’s 1)
Third Inning:
The Orioles loaded the bases to start the inning. Two infield singles sacrificed
in two runs.
The A’s singled, grounded
out to Will at second and then singled, doubled (Tucker) and singled. After
Flynn recorded the second out, the A’s put a few more into play. (O’s 7, A’s 4
Fourth Inning:
The Orioles singled, doubled (Jakob), hit into two fielder’s choices, two more
singles and then a ground out to Ryan first ended the top half of the frame.
The A’s struck out and
then strung together three singles and then a fielder’s choice. The final batter
of the inning hit the ball sharply, however it struck the base runner for the
third out of the inning. (O’s 10, A’s 5)
Fifth Inning:
The Orioles started by grounding out to Ben H-R. The next four O’s singled and
then the O’s struck out for the first time of the game. One more single ended
the O’s run production.
Down 12-5 the A’s did what
the A’s do and mounted another late inning rally. Two singles and then Aiden
doubles, then 5 of the next six singled to 5 run rule to close the 5th. (O’s 12,
A’s 10)
Sixth Inning:
The Orioles were frozen out in the top of the sixth. A strike out and then a
third to first put out (caught by Tucker) started the frame. Two singles were
followed by Tucker scooping a grounder at first to hold the O’s scoreless.
The A’s lead off with two
singles with the second being an outfield single making it first and third. The
next single plated a run and made it 12-11 with runners on first and second with
nobody out.
Each of the next three
batters grounded to the shortstop, Flynn, who threw to third, Matt, for three
consecutive outs. (O’s 12, A’s 11)
