EAGLE WEAR TIMELY HITTING SINKS PROSPECTS

STRUTHERS, OH- Eagle Wear spread the hitting bug around the dugout on Saturday on their way to a 6-2 victory over the Prospects.

It certainly was contagious, and with 8 hits, the Eagles made the most of the opportunities provided with half of their hits being for extra bags.  Teddy Ruffner and Jack Pawlowicz provided some excitement with their triples, while Ricky Enlow and Donny Shimko dialed up doubles and each had 2 RBI.

Not to be outdone on the bump, Josh Corll pitched a beauty as he went the distance giving up 2 runs (1 earned) while walking 1 and striking out 5.

For the Prospects, Jeremy Kreuzwieser took the loss going 4 innings, giving up six hits, and six runs (5 earned) while walking and striking out a pair of hitters.  Kreuzwiezer tried to back up his efforts offensively, going 1-3 with a stolen base.  Jared Mindek had the lone credited RBI for the Prospects.

PROSPECTS PEPPER ROTH

STRUTHERS, OH- The Prospects have been all teams have kept their eye on from afar, and quite a few times this season, the Buccos have raised a few eyebrows with their talent they show on a nightly basis.  Saturday was no different as the Prospects scored 5 runs in the third inning to take a lead they’d never give back en route to an 8-6 win over Roth Brothers.

Michael Galterio wore the crown on the day at the plate, going 3-4 with a pair of RBI.  Luca Massucci, and Jeremy Kreuzwieser joined Galterio as base burglars, each collecting a bag apiece.

Shane Cato had another nice outing for the Prospects (3-3) going 6 strong innings, scattering 5 hits while walking one and striking out four.  David Leslie came out of the pen to strike out one in one inning of work.

Ryan Sullivan was the tough luck loser as he pitched 3 innings, giving up 5 runs but none of them were earned.  Roth (2-3) would commit six errors in the contest that put them behind the 8-Ball, and The Prospects took advantage of the mistakes handed to them.

Zach Lockwich  and Justin Clevenger were the foundation for the runs for RBI, each driving in a pair.
