Description: Wickford struck first off of Patrick Maybach’s RBI double in the top of the first, plating Kyle Holland. Lincoln answered with 3 runs in the bottom of the first. Wickford cut the lead in the top of the second off of an RBI single by Sam Ostrowski, plating John Kearns. But Lincoln scored 2 in the bottom of the second. All five Lincoln runs in the first two innings were scored without a Lincoln hit (all walks, steals, and two errors). Nick Gartland came on in relief with one out in the second and kept the Lincoln bats at bay for the rest of the game, giving up only 2 hits and 2 unearned runs. This solid performance gave Wickford a chance to come back. Wickford took advantage of the opportunity by battling back in the third and fourth innings to close the lead. Kris Richard and Kyle Holland scored in the third and Brandon Jackman scored in the fourth. Things were looking good in the fifth after Matthew Viens lead off with a single. But, the Lincoln pitcher made a great play on a beautifully hit line shot off of Kris Richard’s bat and doubled up Viens on first to deflate the Wickford rally. With two outs and no one on in the fifth, Wickford still kept battling when Vinnie Thela singled and stole his way around the bases to home, closing the lead to one. Kyle Holland also singled and stole his way around the bases and represented the tying run on third base with 2 outs. But, he was caught trying to steal home when the Lincoln catcher played a favorable bounce off the backstop on a passed ball to get him. Wickford went 1-2-3 in the top of the sixth to end the game.
With the loss, Wickford drops to 1-1 in pool play. Wickford’s next game is on Saturday, 25 July at 11 AM. They will play Chariho at Sprague Field in Narragansett.
