CAL/SOUTH (DH) Recap

So Im first gonna start by apologizing for this unusually late post. I got way too much homework and did not have time to complete this, so anyway here we go. The Scots were set to play a home doubleheader against cross-town rival South Christian. The first game the Scots decided to throw Nick Tuori for his first start of 2913. Dominantly a relief pitcher, this was a new role but Tuori fared quite well. Tuori lasted 5 innings scattering 7 hits and 4 runs, however only 1 run was earned. Tuori walked 1 and K'd 6 but picked up the loss. The main reason behind Tuoris loss was the lack of bats. The Scots were no hit for 3.2 innings until Trent Foreman had a single to break up the no-no. They eventually scrapped together a run in the 4th and 5th but when Tuori was done it was 4-2. Mike Andrusiak came into relieve and was as average as normal, nothing amazing yet nothing terrible. He gave up two runs and got bailed out by Keegan Mulvey and the infield gang who all game long turned double plays like turning on a radio. The Scots valiantly charged back into this game and a sac fly by Caleb Sleeman scoring Ben Hamp made it a 6-5 game with two down in the 7th. That was as close as the Scots would get though as SammyV struck out to end the game giving the Sailors a 6-5 W.
Game number 2 (following a delicious meal by the Coons and Pinders) was going to be started by Sammy V, who consistently puts up quality outings. Vanderwal did just that again yesterday throwing a complete game in 103 pitches allowing 2 earned runs the duration of the game. Vanderwal needed to throw the gem he threw because there was nobody left to throw, Nate Pinder and Austin Coon, both outfielders were set to toss for the Scots in relief (neither has thrown this year). The Scots bats came alive early scoring 2 in the first. This game was relatively a coast for the Scots, who were in control the duration of the game and never gave up the lead.the Scots ended up pulling out a 6-2 victory and now improve to 7-6 on the year. They got a DH at Lowell today to work on that conference record.
