Box score

LP - Pat Nestingen (0-1) 3 IP, 5 H, 8 R (5 ER), 4 BB

Ben Klafczynski went 1-5 with 3 rbi on a bases clearing double in the 3rd

This game was...ugly. 7 of the All-Americans' 13 runs were unearned, as Xenia committed 8 errors. However, the All-Americans let Xenia hang around--this game shouldn't have been close, but before 2 late runs by Columbus, it was only a 3-run game. Brenden Stines pitched effectively for 5 innings but walked 4 batters. All-Americans pitchers walked 7 batters tonight, which is far too many and is one of the reasons Xenia was in a game.

The All-Americans travel to Cincinnati tonight to face the Steam (7-2).
