CLIPPERS BOUNCE BACK AGAINST LISBON

/in /by

LISBON, OH- Columbiana (4-4, 3-2) traveled to Lisbon Tuesday afternoon looking to rebound after a close 4-2 defeat on Monday.  The Clippers started fast scoring 5 runs in the first inning highlighted by Michael Ginocchi’s 2 run single and would never look back en route to a 14-5 victory.

Ryan Fahs (1-1) picked up the victory on the mound pitching 4 solid innings while Matt Mazei and Wayne Davis finished off the game for Columbiana.

After the first, both teams traded runs with Lisbon chipping away and looking to tie the game up with the bases loaded down 7-5 in the bottom of the seventh but a fine defensive play by Tyler Andersen and Evan Kenneally would end the Blue Devil threat.

In the following inning another clutch two-out single by Ginocchi would provide much-needed insurance and 2 out doubles by Chase Franken and Erik Hopfenziz would give the Clippers all they needed for the victory.

Offensively, the Clippers pounded out 12 hits with Franken leading the way with 3.  Hopfenziz, Ginocchi, and Andersen also each collected two hits while Hopfenziz and Ginocchi each drove in 3 runs.

Columbiana is off Wednesday but will be back in action at Legion Field on Thursday when they play host to the Ursuline Irish.  Game time is 5 PM.

LISBON ESCAPES COLUMBIANA WITH A VICTORY

/in /by

COLUMBIANA, OH-  In a game that matched two of the area’s premier pitchers, Columbiana’s Chase Franken and Lisbon’s Logan Bell, it was Bell and the Blue Devils outlasting the Clippers.  An ugly start plagued Columbiana as they committed three first-inning errors to give Lisbon a 2-0 lead that they would not relinquish, holding on for a 4-2 victory Monday at Firestone Park.

Shaky defense continued to hurt the Clippers through the third inning allowing the Blue Devils to open up a 4-0 lead.   The big blow in the third was a double by Justin Sweeney who had two hits on the day. Lisbon played solidly and went to the seventh with a 4-0 lead before the Clippers finally broke through against Bell.  

After scoring two runs and loading the bases with none out fueled by base hits from Evan Kenneally and Matt Mazei, the Clippers faced Sweeney in relief.  The rally abruptly ended with a double play ball back to the pitcher and strikeout.

Franken went five innings, allowing one earned run and just two hits while striking out seven and walking one.  Bell went six innings plus, allowing two runs and 4 hits while striking out six and walking four.

The teams face each other in Lisbon on Tuesday at 5:00.
