The All-Americans (1-2) defeated the Lima Locos (1-1) in a game at Bill Davis Stadium this afternoon.
WP - Brenden Stines (1-0) 7 IP, 5 H, 1 R (1 ER), 0 BB, 4 K
LP - Matt Morgan (0-1) 2.2 IP, 2 H, 3 R (3 ER), 2 BB, 1 K
Chris Lewis was 2/3 with a 2 rbi double in the 7th to break open the game. Chris Roberts hit the first HR of the season for the All-Americans in the 6th with a shot over the right field wall.
Brenden Stines had an excellent outing, pitching 7 innings, most of them very quick innings. Tim Mowry and Mark Miller each pitched a perfect inning to finish the game. The team looked a bit sloppy against Anderson yesterday, but were very crisp in the field today, the only error coming on a rushed throw by Zack Leonard. Chris Klimko picked off another runner today, this time coming with runners on 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. The runner was slow getting back to the back, Klimko fired it down there, and Leonard tagged him out. A rally killer, to be sure. The next hitter struck out looking to end the Lima threat. Klimko is going to shut down a lot of teams' running games with his arm this season. During the college season he threw out 17 of 24 would-be base stealers, an incredible 71% rate.
The All-Americans did leave 8 runners on base today, after leaving 12 in the previous two games. As the season goes on and players' approaches become better, expect those numbers to improve. The All-Americans need to continue to get on base; the timely hits will come.
Columbus has an off day tomorrow; Tuesday the All-Americans will travel to Licking County for a 7:00 PM game.
