EAGLES EYE BIG WIN OVER GIRARD

/in /by

HUBBARD, Ohio –

Over the past 6 years, the Hubbard Baseball program has amassed a record of 10-0 against the Girard Indians. Through post season bouts and early morning double headers, the Eagles have never stumbled against the Indians, and they were not looking to end their streak today.

Looking to turn things around from the 18-3 loss Saturday against West Branch, the Eagles started hot at the dish. With two men on and only one out, Jake Hettrick would smash a double into left field, plating one and advancing the other to third. Not being forgotten, the runner would be brought in thanks to a sacrifice fly via Hayden Fox.

Trailing by 2, the Indians loaded the bases without even recording a single hit in the top of the second. Hubbard pitcher Dylan Durkoswalked the first batter of the inning before hitting the second and walking the third. With his back against the wall, Durkos struck out the next two batters he faced then would force the third to pop out to get himself out of a jam. “I was just trying topump strikes” Durkos said of working out of the jam, “I knew if they made contact my defense behind me is solid.”

After a scoreless bottom half of the second and top half of the third, the Eagles would strike again in the bottom of the third. Scoring his second and third RBIs of the game, it was Hayden Fox who delivered a single up the middle to double the Eagle lead.

Hubbard wouldn’t stop their scoring there, as they would once again double their lead with a big 4 run inning in the fourth. The inning was highlighted by an RBI single off the bat of Jake Hettrick and a sacrifice fly by Andrew Kali. The other two runs would score via error and a bases loaded hit by pitch.

The sixth inning would spell the end of the night for the Girard Indians. Already trailing by 8, the Indians would allow 2 runs in the bottom of the sixth, bringing the score to 10-0 and making the game a whitewash.

Hubbard’s Durkos had his way with the Girard Indians, allowing them to only collect two hits the entirety of the game. Durkos would also strikeout 9 in his 6-inning shutout.

TOP PERFORMERS:

HUBBARD

Dylan Durkos – 6 innings pitched, 2 hits allowed, 9 Ks
