Ropp, Defense Lead Bounce Back Win

Posted by Wayne Main on Apr 15 2015 at 05:00PM PDT

Coming off a disappointing weekend in which they dropped a pair of games, the 11U Hustlers were looking for a shot in the arm. That shot came by way of Justin Ropp who tossed four innings of no-hit baseball against last year’s League Champion Olney Pirates. The Hustlers played what has become their trademark defense and bounced back with an 8-3 win at Damascus Regional Park. Ropp only struck out one hitter but induced 11 ground ball outs in facing twelve hitters in his four innings of work. Six of those plays were made by 2B JT Sachar. Matt Cunningham made his season debut on the mound in relief and pitched the final three frames giving up six hits and three runs (only two earned).

The Hustlers had nine hits and benefitted from nine free passes and three hit batsmen. Marshall Mott, Joe Pippin and Dustin Isanogle came up big with two hits a piece. Tyler Prather, Nick DeLisi and Jared Struss each had one hit.

The Hustlers are back in action on Sunday in York, PA.
