(Game 2)
- On Sunday, the Smittys made it two and three straight wins, respectively as they got past Mitchell Post 18 in game one, 5-4 and then drilling Post 18 in game 2, 13-1.
- In game one, the Aberdeen offense got off to a quick 5-0 lead after the first three innings and then they’d make that lead hold up. The last man in the batting order would make the biggest impact offensively for the Smittys. Zane Backous was 2-2 including a 3R-HR and an RBI double in the second inning. He generated four of the five Smittys RBI’s. On the hill, Jaden Smith earned the win, going just two innings of one hit ball, he also had two strikeouts. Mitchell would post two runs in the 5th and 7th respectively, but their rally would fall short.
- In game two, things would be a lot less interesting. The Smittys tomahawked Post 18 as they posted a crooked ‘8’ in the top of the third inning and put things on cruise control. Backous continued his hot play at the plate, as he went 2-5 with a double and three RBI’s. Drew Salfrank was 3-4 and three runs scored + a pair of RBI & a walk. Casey Vining also knocked in a pair, in the 10 run victory. The Smittys out-hit Post 18, 13-4 and committed a pair of errors in the field. Aberdeen will enjoy a nice break until Friday when they’re back in action against Lee’s Summit at Fossum Field.
