It is what it is I guess… We have to play these games, but in two games with Wellsville, we lost out on a full game’s worth of action. After winning 23-6 in five innings at home on Monday, we traveled to Wellsville on Wednesday. And, after going up 17-0 in the second inning, the Tigers decided to concede due to a lack of pitching.
In Game #1 on Monday, things did not exactly look great to start. Wellsville jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the top of the first inning. However, that did not last long, as the Clippers struck back for nine runs in the bottom of the first thanks to hits from seniors Ian Less and Anthony Hall. Senior Cam Clancy perfectly executed a suicide squeeze bunt, scoring senior Alex Eusebio (who reached on a walk). Junior Reese Roush then doubled to bring in Clancy. Less and Hall then each added another single to their tallies (each bringing in a run). The scoring in the inning rounded out with a senior Devin Daugherty double that scored Hall. The Tigers would add a fifth run in the second inning and a sixth in the fourth. But, the Clippers kept on rolling. In the second, Clancy hit a sacrifice fly, bringing in Eusebio. Sophomore Sam Inboden singled, followed by a Less double that brought in two runs. Daugherty added a triple to his numbers. Senior Colin Keleman (RBI single) and Eusebio added singles in the inning. In the third, Reese Roush added, not one but, two RBI singles to the book. Freshman Avery Young also had an RBI single in the inning. Keleman added a single in the fourth inning.
Two Clippers, Ian Less and Reese Roush had three hits including a double in the game. Each of them also had three RBIs. Anthony Hall also had three RBIs on two singles. Devin Daugherty had a double and triple, and Colin Keleman had two singles. Keleman was the winning pitcher in the game; this was his first career win. He logged seven strikeouts and gave up no earned runs in two and two-thirds innings.
For Game #2 on Wednesday, we made the trip down to Wellsville for more of the same. Except this time, we would only play two innings instead of five. The major bright spot from the game was senior Devin Daugherty’s “perfect game.” Devin did not allow a baserunner in his two innings of work, and since the game was called by Wellsville after those two innings, technically it was a perfect game. Devin struck out four of the six batters he faced.
Though we scored seventeen runs, it was on only six hits. For the most part, it was free base city. The Clippers were walked eleven times, hit by three pitches, and two players reached on errors. Clippers with hits were sophomore Hunter Davanzo (a single and a double with four RBIs), senior Alex Eusebio (a double with three RBIs), senior Anthony Hall (a double with two RBIs), junior Reese Roush (a single with two RBIs), and freshman Avery Young (a single and an RBI).
