Greene fends off late rally to hold on for the win
GREENE – The boys varsity baseball team in Greene has now drawn their overall record to an even 3-3 after last nights victory over the visiting Unatego Spartans.
Greene upped their defensive play as they ended a late push from the Spartans to hold on for a 8-5 win.
It was actually Unatego who earned the first run of the game when Feyerabend of Unatego showed some nice play early in the top of the second inning when he singled to center field. Feyerabend then stole to second base before making it to third off his teammates at bat, before being hit home at the next at bat for Unatego.
The bottom of the third saw the Trojans down 1-0, catch fire for an inning. Greene's Brian Leone started the inning off for the Trojans with a nice line drive down left line. After a wild hit by pitch that sent Zach Orzell to first base, It was Jordon Harrington who singled to send Leone home for the tie at 1-1. Orzell, Harrington and Luke Day all scored in the inning in part to an impressive double from Lucian Austin. This offensive play set Greene ahead 4-1, a lead they wouldn’t surrender the remainder of the game.
The fourth inning saw the teams exchange runs drawing the score to 5-2, before The Trojans exploded in the fifth inning for another three runs.
“We kept scoring, once we were up we wanted to stay up,” said Greene head coach Ron Rapp.
The pitching for Unatego held the Trojans at bay for much of the game as the Unatego pitchers combined for eight strikeouts.
“We grinded nine hits out, a lot of singles but we put the ball in play, plus their two errors helped us out some,” said Rapp.
Coach Rapp spoke to the pitching of Breven Gilmore for the Trojans saying, “Gilmore pitched 1-5 he was steady he battled pretty tough on the mound. They had multiple base runners in the fifth and he kept them from not scoring.”
Gilmore finished pitching after five innings and throwing five strikeouts to his only five hits and two runs. Ben Kinney of Greene closed out the game, tossing four strikeouts in his 36 pitches.
Unatego attempted a rally late in the seventh inning, scoring three to draw the game to 8-5, before Kinney struck-out their last man at bat.
Jordon Harrington notched two hits on the night for the Trojans, with a run and an RBI as well, while Zach Orzell, Luke Day, Lucian Austin, Ben Kinney, and Josh Harrington all added an additional hit as well.
Next up for the Trojans is Bainbridge-Guilford on Wednesday where they will host the Bobcats at home at 4:30 p.m. on April 20.
