Central Drops Game 2 Against York!

The Red Devils were hoping to take 2 games at home from the Dukes of York.  John Spacapan took the mound for Central in game 2 of conference play after Will Pahos pitched a complete game for a 5-1 victory in game 1 to open the 3 game series.

Jack Hellwig reached on an error and scored on an RBI single from Matt Anderson to put Central on the board.  York responded with a run in the second and pitcher John Spacapan made a great play when he was hit by a shot up the middle, ran, picked the ball up and back handed it to the 1^st baseman to nail the runner by a step.  York added a run in the 3^rd with a walk and RBI triple, but Mac Burridge ended the scoring when he canned a runner at home trying to score on a sac fly. 

Chris Bobo led off the 3^rd inning with a single, Burridge walked and Anderson added an RBI single for a 2-2 tie.  York answered with a 2-run homer in the top of the 4^th to take the lead for good.

Bobo and Hellwig singled in the 5^th but both were left stranded.  York plated 3 in the 6^th inning to stretch their lead to 7-2.   The Red Devils were unable to overcome the 5 run deficit and split the double header.  The Devils and Dukes play the rubber match on Tuesday

Spacapan pitched 3 1/3 innings allowing 4 runs (3 earned) on 6 hits with 3 walks, 1 hit batter and 1 strike out.

Peter Marquardt threw 3 2/3 innings allowing 3 runs on 5 hits with 4 walks, 1 hit batter and 5 K’s.
