Battle of West Allis goes to Nationals

Posted by Steve Elliott on Jun 20 2005 at 05:00PM PDT in 2019 Season
A new chapter in the ongoing rivalry between the White Sox and Nationals was written Tuesday night at Zirkel Field in McCarty Park.  Fielding a veteran-laden lineup, the Nationals defeated the young and improved White Sox by a score of 6-0.

Gray in attitude, but red in complexion, starting pitcher Johnny Arnold led the way.  Arnold, pitching on two days rest in case you hadn't yet heard, dominated the Sox with eight shutout innings.  Brandon Kellbach pitched the ninth and struck out the side.

With that kind of mound performance, little offense was needed.  Tom Donovan contributed his customary 2 RBI's and a resurgent Alex Franson added a couple of knocks.

Joining the lineup for the first time was veteran West Allis ballplayer, Ken Poniewaz.  Poniewaz showed polish at shortstop and a right-handed power stroke unlike many others.

Next up are the Kenosha Kings Friday night at Zirkel Fields.  The teams will play 2  7 inning games beginning at 6PM after having had their previous meeting postponed due to rain.
