EVANSVILLE JAYS FALL TO 3 WINS & 3 LOSSES

On Sunday, June 11th the Evansville Jays traveled to Oregon for a Home Talent Baseball League game. Coming into Sunday's game Evansville (3-2) was third in the Southeast Section West Division standings right behind Oregon (4-1). A win would put Evansville in the second spot.

Unfortunately, the Jays struggled in all three phases: Defense, Pitching and Hitting. Defensively the Jays committed 4 errors. The pitching staff gave up 11 walks and 3 hit batters. Offensively the Jays struck out 13 times and stranded 11 runners on base.

The Jays took an early 1-0 lead in the second inning when with one out Nick Manion singled and was followed by two walks from Jason Schultz and Jeremy Rasmussen. With the bases loaded, next batter Ryan Lindemann (just married) grounded out to the right side of the infield to score Manion. That was the last time the Jays led in the game. In the bottom of the second inning Oregon batted through the order and scored four runs.

In the top of the fifth inning with one out, Jon Frey walked and was followed by a pair of singles from Brent Cashore and Casey Nelson. Frey scored on Nelson's single. Score Evansville 2 Oregon 5.

Evansville's last run came in the top of the ninth when Frey led off the inning by reaching on an error. Cashore then walked who was later forced out at second base on Nelson's fielder's choice ground ball. Next batter Jerod Steindl hit a come-backer to the pitcher, and Frey was able to score when the ball was thrown to first to force out Steindl. Final score Evansville 3 Oregon 8.

The Jays won their second Night League game last Thursday 3-0 against Argyle at Leota Park. Evansville is now 2-0 in Night League play, and will travel to Wiota this Thursday, June 15th.

NEXT HOME GAME: This Saturday, June 17th Evansville will host Deerfield at the Evansville High School field starting at 1:00 pm. This game is a make-up game from Memorial Day rainout. This Sunday, June 18th Evansville will travel to Fort Atkinson for a 1:00 pm game. For the latest schedule and results please visit the team's website at www.evansville.hometalent.org.
