Boomerang 3

Doherty Painting defeated Boomerang Dining in a hard fought pitcher’s duel. Ameer Hasan collected seven strikeouts in three innings of work surrendering only one run.  Shea McGuire then came in and pitched effectively for two innings before handing it off to Garrett Maloney who closed out the game with two strikeouts in a hitless 6^th inning.

The score was tied at three going into the last inning when Shea McGuire beat out an infield hit.  Two outs later, Ryan Kaelblein plated the go ahead run with a single to right.  Joey Hiner knocked his second hit of the day before Ryan Monaghan drove in the final two runs with a hard smash to left.

The Boomerang offense scored three runs on five hits by Ean Dauer, Justin Wolf, Aidan Jodoin, Tommy Sarsfield and Ben Cohen.  The story for Boomerang, however, was their pitching.  Stephen Kop struck out five in two innings and Trevor Dlecampe proved to be unhittable again.  He struck out nine of the eleven batters he faced while walking the other two.  Ean Dauer notched two more strikeouts in his inning of work.  All told, the Boomerang staff tallied a total of sixteen strikeouts in six innings.
