Stoughton Storm at Bertrand Island Carnies
It looked to be like any other game in this Tournament of Champions. Heading into late innings, the Stoughton Storm edged out to a narrow 2-0 lead thanks to some timely hitting and a solid performance from their starter, Roger Clemens.
If previous games were any indication, the Carnie’s would have a late rally fall short and ultimately get tagged with yet another loss. On this night however, the Carnie’s caught a few breaks and their bats came alive, scoring 6 runs in the eighth to give an ATB team their first win in the series.
The Carnie’s hit four consecutive singles to start the eighth, and a few outs and a hit by pitch later, had their first lead of the game. Orator Shaffer and Fred Carroll added a few more hits giving the Carnies a 6-2 lead they would not relinquish.
Both starters were effective, but Clemens was in trouble off an on throughout the night. Jason Schmidt on the other hand scattered 5 hits over 8 innings, striking out 7.
Game 4 is tomorrow night, where Jerry Ruess (13-9, 3.06) tries to even the series against Game 1 starter Bill Foster.
