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.

WP: MacIntyre (1-0)
LP: Oviedo (0-1)
SV: Maoz (1)

HR: McIntyre (1)

The Battalion had a tough draw, playing on back-to-back nights and couldn’t find a groove in the sub-zero degree weather. Once again they fell behind early, this time allowing 2 runs in the bottom of the first. The RiverHawks used their home field advantage in the first to plate two after an RBI triple from Steve Spooner. Spooner would later score on a RBI single from Francis Meyrand.

Wil McIntyre got his second start of the season. His final line was 5IP, 5R, 4ER, 6H, 6K, and 6BB. Brent Daviault came in relief, throwing 1 inning, allowing 1 earned run. Battalion pitchers have now combined to walk 42 batters in 24 innings this season.

The Battalion were able to keep it close all game and actually tied it up at 3 after a Sam McIntosh, 2 run single with 2 outs in the 5th. Evan Hammond led the way offensively going 3-for-3 with a walk. Battalion hitters struck out 12 times throughout the game.

The Battalion couldnt keep the game tied as the RiverHawks scored 2 in the 5th and 3 in the 6th to come out on top 8-3.

The Battalion are back at it on Tuesday where they meet the Capital City Cubs in hopefully some nice weather for a change.

Yet again the Battalion found themselves trailing by a large margin after the second inning. They were down 6-0 after the 2nd before starter Wil McIntyre found his groove, shutting down the Panthers for the next 3 innings. This allowed the Battalion to claw back and take a much needed 9-6 victory, in a shortened 5 inning game.

McIntyre ended the night allowing 6 runs (4 earned) on 4 hits and 9 walks while striking out 5. With the Panthers leading 6-4 in the 4th, Kevin Miller hit a leadoff double, then advanced to third on a wild pitch. McIntyre induced back to back comebackers before getting Justin Carpenter to strike out to escape the jam.

Defending MVP, Steve Renaud led the way offensively, going 2-for-3 with 3RBIs. Kyle Craig also had a strong game with 2 hits. The Battalion as a whole were able to draw 13 walks, including 5 in the 3rd inning.

The Battalion have 9 days off before they face the Ponies.
