LaPlume, PA.-
Game 1 of the day pitted 5-1 senior Gary
Sanders vs 5-1 Yadiel Lanzo in a match up to help
determine home field advantage for the playoffs. Today, Lanzo and
the Giants got the upper hand. Sanders
pitched 6 innings allow 5 ER, with 5 K's, but Lanzo was better as
the Mustangs dropped the game 9-2. Offensively, freshman
John Cummings was 1-3 with the 2 RBI's in the game
as he drove a single to right center in the 2nd inning which gave
VJC the lead. However, after a couple of defensive miscues, the
Mustangs fell behind and couldn't battle back.
Game 2 turned out to be a gem, as Villa threw junior
Buddy Breidenbaugh up against Brett Repard.
Keystone scored a lone run in the 3rd and kept Villa at bay
until sophomore Griffin Stewart led off the
top of the 7th with a towering homerun to left field to tie it.
The game remained tied until the bottom of the 9th, and with
1 out, the Giants executed a safety squeeze as the baseball stopped
on the chalk down the first base line for the victory.
Breidenbaugh pitched 8.1 innings allowing 2
earned runs with 5 K's.
Offensively, Stewart was the only
Mustang with a multi hit game as he finished 2-4 with an RBI.
The Mustangs are back in action Monday vs Salisbury for 1 pm
twinbill. The Mustangs will then travel to Keystone for the
conference playoffs next Friday and Saturday.
