Carroll 5 Homestead 4

Carroll traveled to Homestead on Thursday evening to play the rubber match of their three game series.    Homestead got on the board in the second when they lead off with a single and then a few poor throws and decisions by the Chargers and the Spartans took full advantage of the sloppy play and jumped on top 4 – 0 after two. 

  The stagnant Carroll offense remained silent until the 6th when Eli Neuhouser was hit by a pitch, followed by a Blake Fitzpatrick  single.  Later in the inning a Patrick Cain infield single drove in a run.   The big hit came from Carter Irons when doubled with the bases loaded scoring 2 runs to tie it up but a great play by the Spartans threw out the go ahead run at the plate on a bang bang play.

  The top of the 7th started with an Aiden Corzine single, followed by a Kellams walk.  Corzine moved up on a ball in the dirt and came home with the go ahead run on a Riley Geiger SAC fly, his second RBI of the night.

Jayce Richards pitched 4 innings of very good relief, allowing just two hits while striking out 6 and picked up the win on the mound.   Carroll returns to action on Saturday when they host Huntington North, starting at 10 AM.
