Bethlehem Plowboys 12 Brass city Vipers 6
Plow wins a tight one over the Brass City Vipers in extras 12-6! Kyle Banche got the ball for Bethlehem going 4 plus innings, allowing 5 runs, only 2 earned, striking out 7. The Vipers countered with Bryant Bonilla who went 6 plus innings, striking out 2 and allowing 6 runs to Bethlehem. The bats were hot on both sides as the game was filled with one team taking the lead and the other tied it up or re took the lead pretty much every inning. The Plow bats were led by Joe Rupe going a smooth 4-5 with 3 runs scored as well as Chase Belisle, Brice Waldron, Colby Linnell, and Jesse Swartout, all reaching base atleast twice with RBIs to pair with those at bats. The Vipers bats were hot throughout as well as Jaylen Kelley hit an absolute bomb in the 5th to give the Vipers a 6-5 lead. Jaylen as well as Collin Hajjar, Manny Ortiz, and Joevanni Torres all reached base atleast twice and added RBIs as well. With the game going back and forth all tied up going into extras, the Plow finally struck and scored 6 in the top of the 8th take back the lead decisively. George Bielizna threw the final 4 innings for Bethlehem only letting 1 run in and striking out 2, while also looking quite nimble on the mound. Roll Plow!
