Description: Travis Sampson, Wickford 1’s starting pitcher, held Wickford 2 batters hitless through 2 innings, striking out five and allowing only one base runner (a walk). Wickford 1’s bats came alive early as they scored three runs in the first inning and four runs before recording an out in the second inning. There were several big hits that contributed to this rally: Jimmy Moan’s single and RBI double, Mark Rogers’ RBI double, Tyler Chabot’s RBI double, A Jay Bucci’s single, Dallin Smith’s single, and Travis Sampson’s RBI single. Patrick Maybach came on in relief with no outs in the second inning to minimize the damage. He gave up one run (a homerun to Alec Bedard) but struck out the side to end the second. Wickford 2 rallied in the top half of the third inning. Nathan Mathews recorded the first hit, a double to right, and both Patrick Maybach and Vinnie Thela drew bases-loaded RBI walks. A Jay Bucci came on in relief and got a strike out with the bases loaded to kill the rally. Wickford 1 added a run in the bottom of the third on an A Jay Bucci solo home run. Patrick Maybach recorded two more strike outs and a 1-3 groundout to get out of the inning. Wickford 2 scored two in the top of the fourth inning on a Matthew Viens’ single and Nick Gartland’s RBI double. Nick Gartland also scored when he stole home. Wickford 1 finished the scoring by putting up four in the bottom of the fourth inning. Key hits in this inning were Travis Sampson’s single, Jimmy Moan’s single and Alec Bedard’s three run home run, his second homer of the game. The game was called at the end of the fourth because of rain.
This was the last game in the pool play portion of the tournament for both teams. Wickford 1 finished at 7-0 and Wickford 2 finished at 4-2-1. The playoffs begin for both teams next week. As the top seed, Wickford 1 will host Exeter-West Greenwich on Monday, 3 August at 5 PM. Wickford 2’s seeding is still TBD.
