Schooley and Hynd Late Game Blasts Lead Nats to Victory
The Same Day Auto tier 1 Bantams split a pair of games in Inter County baseball action this week..
Wednesday night at SERC a Zach Schooley two out two run double in the bottom of the fifth inning broke a 0-0 tie with Brantford and a similar two out blast by David Hynd an inning later gave Stratford a 4-0 victory over the visitors from the telephone city.
Jacob Hall, Nathan Graff and Cam Daigle also had hits for the home side in what was a very well pitched game by both sides. Carter Musselman went four strong innings on the bump allowing just one hit while striking out three and walking four. Daigle and Michael Pauli finished up strong giving up just one hit and striking out another three Red Sox batters.
Monday at the stadium in what was a game with several lead changes, first place Waterloo plated an unearned run in the top of the seventh for an 8-7 victory over the Nats. Caleb Musselman led of the bottom of the first with a towering shot to right field narrowly missing a home run, settling for a double and later scoring the game's first run on a Daigle double. Hynd knocked in two runs to pace the Nats offense the rest of the way with Carter Musselman and Michael Pauli adding one RBI each.
James Koch added two hits for the home side while Tyler Hotson and Graff added one a piece. On the mound Carter Musselman and Daigle combined to allow four earned runs on nine Tiger hits, striking out five and walking three.
