Broughton lost a tough one last night.  Millbrook scores 2 in the 7th to win 4-3.

Cameron Gombatz pitched 6 great innings last night but ran out of go go juice in the 7th.  Millbrook forced 2 intentional walks and then converted with timely hitting.

Both teams played well defensively despite each making an error that cost them a run.  There were several nice plays with Kevin Partin, Cameron Gombatz and Joe Bialkowski standing out defensively.

The Caps scored in the 2nd when Thomas Butler led off with a single, stole 2nd was bunted to 3rd and scored on a Joe Bialkowski single. Broughton struck again in 4th when Zach Pearce led off with a single then courtesy runner Evan Rakovan advanced to 2nd on a wild pitch and scored on another Joe Bialkowski single.  Joe’s aggressive base running got us another run when trying to advance to third after a ground out to third forced an overthrow by the 3rd baseman.  Zach Pearce and Joe Bialkowski both had two hits.

The loss drops the Caps to 4-3 in the Conference and 9-7 overall.  The Caps don”t have time to dwell on the loss as they pick back up tonight against Middle Creek 7:00 pm at Middle Creek.

Caps loss to West Johnson not reflected in the score 5-0

Too many men left on base was the story of the night for the Capitals.  The offense just couldn’t break through despite having multiple opportunities.  Timely hits just eluded the Caps all night long.

The starting pitching got roughed up a little but the bullpen came in and combined for 3 innings of shutout ball. The Caps fall to 8-6 overall and 3-2 in the Conference.

The Caps have a few days off to right the ship before taking on crosstown rivals Sanderson Friday night 7:00pm at Optimist Park.  The Caps will look to exact revenge against the Spartans as they were the team that knocked the Caps out of the State Playoffs in 09.

Jr Righthander Brandon Saunders started strong going 3 innings and only giving up 1 run.  Jr Pierce Jensen was asked to come in and stop the bleeding, he proved himself worthy by going 2 1/3 innings without surrendering a run.  The middle innings were a different story with the pitching staff giving up 11 walks (most in the 4 & 5).  The walks took their toll as they offered no chance for a Capital win. The offense did some damage with  a solo HR by Sr Evan Rakovan, a RBI Double Jr. Kevin Partin and a 2-3 night from Fr Joe Bialkowski.  The Caps Fall to 4-2 overall and 1-1 in conference play.
