Description: Wickford’s starting pitcher, Nathan Mathews, got into a bases loaded, one out jam in the first but pitched his way out of it with a strike out and a pop out to first. Wickford also threatened in the bottom of the first inning, but came up empty, leaving a runner stranded. Nathan Matthews struck out the side in the top of the second to keep the game knotted at zero. In the bottom of the second, the Wickford bats came alive. Wickford took a 4-0 lead on runs by Zach Lynch, Nick Gartland, Johnny Kearns, and Stephen Maybach. This inning was fueled by Nathan Mathews’ RBI sacrifice fly and Sam Ostrowski’s RBI double. East Greenwich’s answered with two runs in the top of the third inning. A third run was stymied at the plate when second baseman, Brandon Jackman, threw to catcher, Zach Lynch, to get an East Greenwich runner attempting to score. That ended the inning and the rally. East Greenwich closed the gap to 4-3 in the top of the fourth before Patrick Maybach came on in relief. He got a strike out to get out of a bases loaded jam, allowing Wickford to hang on to the lead. He followed that with a 1-2-3 fifth inning. Wickford got an insurance run in the bottom of the fifth when Johnny Kearns’ RBI single scored Nathan Mathews. Nick Gartland pitched a 1-2-3 sixth inning for the save.
With the win, Wickford improved to 2-1-1 in pool play. Their next game is Monday night, 27 July at 7 PM. They will play Smithfield at Sprague Field in Narragansett.
