Devils starter
Alex Hill ran into trouble right out of the gate as he hit three of the first four batters, while walking the other one to force in one run. The next man was Troy Emert with the bases full and he lifted an offering up to deep left field that got caught up in the wind and blew over the wall for a grand slam making it 5-0 just five men in. A walk and double then left two in scoring position with still no outs. The next two men went down on strikes, before Tyler Suder drove in two more for a 7-0 lead through just a half-of-an-inning. Dickinson scratched one across in their half as singles from
Kenny Tagliareni and
Kaden Sigmon along with an error put two in scoring position for
Chase Weller with two gone. During his at-bat Mounties starter Dylan Brown uncorked a wild pitch to plate Tagliareni making it 7-1 through one.
Evan Connery was the next man on the hill for the Red and White to begin the second and he was solid through two frames allowing no runs, while giving up just two hits. Offensively, for DC
