Portsmouth, OH - - YOUR Chillicothe 757 Colts sweep a very good Portsmouth 23 Blue Jays team opening up league play in the South Central Ohio League.
Game 1, final 8-4: Despite allowing three runs in the bottom of the 7th inning the Colts hold on for an 8-4 victory in game one. Nick Salyer earns his first win of the summer on the mound after pitching four innings, allowing four hits, no runs along with four strikeouts. Defensively the Colts got it done in game one having zero errors (but one badly misplayed ball!!) and provided plenty of offensive support to Salyer along with Cole Ratcliff and Zane Joseph in relief. Offensively the Colts had multiple RBI hits from Emmitt Cunningham (2) and Ryan Schwartz (2). Cole Ratcliff, Salyer, Lucas Foglesong, and Drew Seymour also contributed RBI hits for the Colts
Game 2, final 2-1: The Colts grab the lead in the sixth inning after tying up the game 1-1 in the fifth. Offensively the Colts were lead by Daniel Haller who had three hits. Ryan Schwartz and Sugar Ray Bone Byer each had RBI hits for the Colts. Other contributors at the plate included Bryce McWhorter and Carter Glandon both with hits in game two. On the mound, Kyle Wingo gives the Colts four innings of one-hit baseball along with seven Ks and one earned run. Lucas Foglesong worked three innings of no-hit baseball along with four Ks to get the win after the Colts take the lead in the 6th inning.
The Colts continue SCOL play Wednesday at Hoffman Field where they will host the Hillsboro 129 Renegades for a 6 pm twin bill.
