Westminster, MD.- Villa beats McDaniel in a
nail biter 10-9. The Mustangs took a commanding lead after
the top of the 4th at 8-1 only to see McDaniel battle back with 4
in the bottom of the 4th, 3 more on a Home Run by Russell Coover in
the bottom of the 8th. Jr Jimmy Smith
started the scoring in the top of the first with a solo Home Run,
and Sr Kevin Rodgers followed with a solo Home Run
in the top of the 2nd as the Mustangs scored 6 of the first 7
innings. Unfortunately, mistakes in the field caught up to
Villa's starter So Ryan Baione as he tired in the
8th giving up the 3 run Home Run. After McDaniel got the
tying run to 3rd with 2 outs in the bottom of the ninth, Villa went
to their closer Jr Alex Laddbush who got the
strikeout to preserve the win and pick up his 2nd save.
Offensively, Jimmy Smith was 2-5 with 3
RBI's, Laddbush 2-5 with 2 RBI's,
Rodgers 2-5 1 RBI, Fr John
Cummings 3-5, and Sr Dave Brown was 2-4 3
RBI's.
