The Battalion did the impossible and had a scoreless first inning. It broke a stretch of 5 games where they allowed 14 runs in the first inning. The Battalion carried this through the rest of the game, having their first overall clean game of the season, winning 4-3.

Tier 1 Rookie, Braden McGinnis, had a very strong start going 5.1 innings, allowing 0 earned runs. McGinnis now has a 1.36 ERA on the season. McGinnis got into a little bit of trouble in the 5th, allowing back to back singles, and then a double to start the inning. Luckliy Evan Hammond was able to throw out Tim Gautam trying to stretch a single into a double to lead off the inning. Matt MacIntyre came out of the bullpen with runners on 2nd and 3rd and only 1 out. He got the first batter he faced to ground out to 2nd, scoring a run. He then hit a batter but got the next one to weakly ground out to Steve Renaud to end the inning. Eitan Maoz came in the 7th and had a 1-2-3 inning to earn the save.

The Battalion offense was quiet most of the night. Drew McCormick had an RBI double in the 2nd, followed up by a 2 RBI single by Kyle Craig. The biggest hit of the game came in the bottom of the 6th where Wil McIntyre broke the tie, hitting a solo shot off a first pitch curveball from Jason Oviedo. It was McIntyre’s first of the year, and 2nd on his career.

The Battalion even their record at 3-3 and move up to a tie for 3rd in the standings.

They are right back at it on Sunday against the Cubs.
