All Americans 0 Grand Lake 3

The All-Americans (3-4) were shut out by the Grand Lake Mariners (3-4) last night in Celina.

Box score

WP - Dave Paddock (1-1) 9 IP, 5 H, 0 R, 2 K

LP - Kolbrin Vitek (0-1) 5 IP, 6 H, 3 R (2 ER), 1 BB, 4 K

For the second game in a row, an opposing pitcher threw a complete game against the All-Americans. Not to take anything away from Dave Paddock's nice outing, but Columbus hitters were swinging very early in the count and not making him work at all. With only 2 strikeouts, Paddock wasn't exactly overpowering hitters, but then again, All-Americans hitters were swinging too early in the count for Paddock to get a strikeout, so maybe that explains the low strikeout total. Hopefully the day off today gets the team back on track.

Tomorrow the All-Americans travel to Stark County (4-1) for a double header, starting at 3 PM.
