BRAVES SWEEP DOUBLEHEADER 5-1 OVER MCINTOSH JV
Following the morning win over the Creekview Grizzlies JV in the Milton JV Invitational tournament, the Braves stayed hot for a second win over the McIntosh Chiefs JV in the second half of our doubleheader by the score of 5-1. This time, we outhit the competition 8-2 and recorded 4 extra-base hits in the process.
Offensively, we scored our 5 runs in the odd innings of the game. The first inning netted 1 run on a lead-off DOUBLE by #5 Hunter Swilling that he stretch into a three-bagger via an errant throw by the Chiefs left fielder. Swilling scored on an RBI-single hit to the right field gap by #33 Stephen Wrenn, but the Chiefs' defense then tightened to strand Wrenn at third base after he stole 2 bases. In the third inning, #5 Hunter Swilling again led off with an extra-base hit, this time a "Blast of the Game" TRIPLE that one-hopped to the centerfield fence. Swilling then scored on an RBI ground-out by #33 Stephen Wrenn to give the Braves a 2-0 lead. #19 Patrick Shultz also stroked a deep blast to the left field gap in the inning that recorded as a DOUBLE and an inning-ending out as he overshot second base and unsuccessfully tried to hustle back to the bag. After leaving the bases juiced in the fourth inning on a DOUBLE by #19 Ryan Murphy, a walk by #44 Jordan Brown, and a single by #11 CJ Brazil, the Braves capped our scoring in the bottom of the fifth inning with 3 runs on 2 hits. With one out in the inning, #33 Stephen Wrenn reached on an error by the Chiefs' third baseman and #8 Patrick Schultz reached on an RBI-error by the Chiefs' second baseman that scored Wrenn. Both errors were well-stroked balls that the Chiefs' defenders simply misplayed. In between, #16 Nathaniel Maggio stroked a single to shallow left field and #2 Sam Ayers poked an RBI-single to right field to score Maggio. #19 Ryan Murphy then launch a sacrifice fly to centerfield to score Schultz.
Defensively, #5 Hunter Swilling was back in his groove on the mound, pitching five excellent innings and giving up 0 earned runs on 2 hits and 1 walk with 7 strike outs. Swilling's strike to ball ratio was 2.26 as his fastball and breaking balls were filling the strike count. #8 Patrick Schultz relieved Swilling in the sixth inning and threw 2 excellent innings to save the game for the Braves. Schultz faced the final 8 batters and allowed 0 runs on 0 hits and 2 walks with 4 strike outs. And, the Braves defense turned in an error-free effort by making all of the routine plays behind their pitchers.
