CLIPPERS SMILING BIG AFTER WIN OVER EAGLES

/in /by

COLUMBIANA, OH- For the most part, Wednesday’s Game 2 of the Columbiana-United series was very similar to Tuesday’s Game 1… A pitchers’ duel. Fortunately for the Clippers, some insurance in the bottom of the 6th inning did help change the circumstances a little bit from what they were on Tuesday night. Columbiana Junior Devin Daugherty and United Senior Nevin Hahlen went toe to toe for the first 3 innings of Wednesday’s game. The first runs of the game would not come until the bottom of the 4th inning when the Clippers would finally break through thanks to another clutch hit by Junior Colin Keleman to bring in Daugherty (reached via walk). Another single by Junior Ian Less would drive in Keleman to extend the Clippers’ lead to 2-0. However, United was not going to go away easily, as they turned around and scored 1 of their own in the next half inning, via a Smith RBI single.

It would be in the bottom of 6th when the Clippers finally took control of the game for good. Four consecutive hits to start the inning would ultimately be the last push needed for Columbiana; a leadoff single by Junior Alex Eusebio, an RBI double by Daugherty, an RBI single by Keleman, and a single by Less (his 3rd of the game). Pinch-running for Keleman, Senior Blake Nusser would score the 5th and final run for the Clippers on an RBI fielder’s choice by Junior Anthony Hall.

Daugherty’s strong 9 strikeout performance, stellar defense, and timely hitting were the Clippers’ keys to victory in this one. Columbiana sweeps the EOAC series with United, and they will look to build on their success against a strong non-conference opponent in West Branch on Thursday.

GAMBLE IS PERFECT ON THE BIG STAGE

/in /by

COLUMBIANA OH- With a highly anticipated matchup between Columbiana and McDonald on tap on Saturday, it was going to come down to which lock down pitcher shined the brightest. Both teams brought fantastic arms to the party in the Clippers’ Mackenzi Gamble and McDonald’s Bella O’Brien.  It was Gamble thought that absolutely made her name known to the entire world with a perfect game.

Gamble’s perfection wasn’t the only thing Columbiana brought to the party.  Their offense was able to solve O’Brien who hadn’t given up an earned run to this point in the season. The Clippers were able to get to her with 8 runs on 6 hits.  Gamble swung in 4 RBI on a grand slam to go along with her dominance in the circle. Ava Davanza was the only Clipper with multiple hits finishing perfect at the plate with a 2-2 line with a run scored.  Maryn Hepler was 1-4 with a pair of RBI

Gamble’s final line in the circle was 7.0 IP 0 H 0 BB 15 K.  She only used 80 pitches to complete her perfect game. Out of those 80 pitches, 62 of them were strikes.

O’Brien struck out 6 in the circle and gave up 6 hits for McDonsld. 5 of the Clippers 8 runs were earned. Bri McCombs struck out 4 batters in 2 innings of relief.  She didn’t give up a hit in those innings.

Columbiana returns to EOAC play on Monday as they open up a series with Wellsville on the road at 5:00.  McDonald will also refocus on league play as they welcome Springfield into their place on Monday at 5:00.
