That was the assessment by Blue Mountain manager Dick Krause of his team无毛视频檚 4-0 win over Pasta Lorenzo on Tuesday.
无毛视频�(Schrader) did a great job pitching out of jams,无毛视频� Krause added. 无毛视频淯sually you face those one or two times a game.无毛视频�
Pasta Lorenzo manager Dan Kupets agreed with Krause. 无毛视频淭heir pitcher got stronger from the fourth inning on,无毛视频� Kupets said. 无毛视频淧itching and defense win ball games, and hitting keeps you in them.无毛视频�
Blue Mountain (16-6) scored all the runs Schrader would need in a strange first inning that included singles by Rick Smykla and J.W. Kayla, to go with two passed balls and a pair of wild pitches. Smykla scored on one of the wild pitches and Kayla scored two batters later on a ground out by Jeff Thompson.
Pasta Lorenzo (6-15) had its best chances to score in the second and fourth innings.
Casey Kupets led off the second with a solid double, but was stranded at third base when Schrader got a pair of ground outs around a pop up.
The Copperheads added two runs in the fourth on George Taylor无毛视频檚 home run to left field with Tanner Jesso on base.
Pasta Lorenzo tried to answer in the bottom of the inning when Ken Musko singled and JoJo Maldonado doubled. But Schrader escaped the jam by getting a strikeout, a short fly out to right field, and a pop up.
From that point on, Schrader retired 10 straight batters until Jim Cales singled with one out in the seventh.
Pasta Lorenzo pitcher Sam Bashioum escaped trouble in the third, sixth, and seventh innings, and Dan Kupets said, 无毛视频淥ur pitcher did a good job too. These were two well-pitched games,无毛视频� Kupets said. 无毛视频淭hey capitalized on our miscues in the first.无毛视频�
Schrader ended the game with seven strikeouts from the third inning on, while Bashioum struck out four batters.
With two games left against Dunbar, Krause said the Copperheads need to win both games to secure the Fayette County League无毛视频檚 regular season championship because second place Bud Murphy无毛视频檚 has beaten BM in three of four games to hold the tie-breaker if the two teams finish tied for first place.
The Copperheads are thin in ranks with numerous injuries, including an ankle injury suffered by shortstop Brian Coleman on Tuesday during a steal of second base. 无毛视频淥ur pitching is thin,无毛视频� Krause added. 无毛视频淲e played eight games in eight days, and played six games last week. We无毛视频檝e had two days off in the last 12 days.无毛视频�
In the meantime, Pasta Lorenzo will try to play spoiler with games against Bud Murphy无毛视频檚 tonight and Thursday.
