Bats lead Nationals to victory over Manitowoc
Matt Soderlund had 4 hits and Tom Donovan and Danny Putnam had three each as the Nationals completed a perfect Road Trip with an 8-2 victory over the defending Northeastern League champion Manitowoc Bandits. The squad collected 16 hits in all and had scoring opportunities in 8 of the games 9 innings.
Despite the solid contact, the Nats were slow to get on the board. After failed rallies in the first, third, fourth and fifth, the team finally broke out with a pair of runs in the sixth. James Herkowski hit a sacrifice fly and Kyle Kalkopf's later followed with his first career hit- an RBI single to right - to give the team a 2-1 lead. Manitowoc answered with a two-out run scoring single in the bottom half of the inning to even the score and Jungbauer departed after six strong innings, allowing only 4 hits and 1 earned run with 6 strikeouts.
In the seventh, the Nationals broke through with three more runs. The key blow that inning was a two run double from Jared Stengel.
Danny Putnam picked up for Jungbauer from there, pitching three scoreless innings of relief for his first Nationals save.
Next up is the 2009 Langsdorf League opener. The Nats and crosstown rival White Sox square off on Tuesday at 7:30pm at Zirkel Field. CJ Herrforth will make his 2009 deput on the hill.
