The Tigers came in with a drought of 27 straight innings without a run scored. They traveled to Nanticoke as they took on the Trojans. The Trojans were hosting Senior Day on Thursday afternoon. Kyle Pokrinchak got the start for the Trojans. The Tigers went with Matt Goodwin. Tyler Faux hit a bunt single with one out then Goodwin hit a single to left. Connor Hulslander drew a walk to load the bases. Brian Muckin then drove home Faux and Goodwin on a single and Hulslander came home on an error for a 3-0 Tigers lead ending their streak of scoreless innings at 27. A strikeout and a popout ended the top of the first. Goodwin started with a 1-2-3 frame in the first to keep the Trojans off the board. Connor Munley and Jack Fenwick led off with singles then Nick Reposa hit a three run homer to left for a 6-0 lead. Faux then hit a single. Nanticoke went to Evan Stecco in relief. Kris Rynkiewicz would throw out Faux trying to get to third for the first out. Goodwin would single. After a fielder's choice by Hulslander, Muckin would double to left to score Hulslander to make it 7-0 Tigers. Rynkiewicz would throw out Muckin trying to get to third on the next batter. Goodwin would throw another 1-2-3 frame in the second. Munley would draw a two out but a groundout ended the threat. Cody Piestrak hit a leadoff single for the Trojans first hit of the game. Jake Shatley would draw a walk. After an infield fly, Kyle Pokrinchak would hit a single to make it bases loaded with one out. Dylan Szychowski would draw a bases loaded walk to get Nanticoke on the board but a strikeout and a groundout ended the inning. Reposa would hit a leadoff single. After a lineout, Goodwin would draw a walk, but a popout and a fielder's choice ended the top of the fourth. Goodwin rebounded with a 1-2-3 fourth for the Tigers. Stecco threw a 1-2-3 fifth for the Trojans. Goodwin threw another 1-2-3 inning in the fifth for the Tigers. Nick Reposa would get his third hit of the game with a one out single. He would steal second then advance to third on an error. Faux would bring home Reposa on a single to make it 8-1. Trahjan Krupinski would come in relief for Nanticoke. Krupinski would retire the next two batters to get to the bottom of the sixth. Rynkiewicz would hit a one out single then Tyler Pokrinchak hit a single. Both would advance one base on a wild pitch. Krupinski would single home Rynkiewicz and Pokrinchak to cut the lead to 8-3. Derek Kurkoski would reach on an error that would score Krupinski to make 8-4, but a lineout and a groundout ended the sixth. David Baltrusaitis would reach on an error with one out but was out trying to advance to second. Dylan Mislevy would single then Munley and Fenwick would draw walks to load the bases then Reposa came to the plate and continued his hot day with his fourth hit, a single that scored Mislevy and Munley for a 10-4 lead. Tyler Faux would reach on an error that scored Fenwick for an 11-4 advantage. A flyout would end the inning. Pinch hitter Andrew Gurzynski drew a one out walk but a groundout and a strikeout ended the game as the Tigers took down the Trojans 11-4.
Thoughts on the game: Nick Reposa had a great game for the Tigers, going 4 for 5 with a home run and five RBIs. The Tigers finally broke their slump today with eleven runs. Overshadowed by Reposa's big day was Brian Muckin's day as he drove in three runs and hit a double. For the Trojans, I was impressed by a few players. Cody Piestrak had a good game going 1 for 3, putting the ball in play all three times. Kris Rynkiewicz had a great game especially behind the plate. Lastly, Trahjan Krupinski had a good game at the plate, driving in two and in his first at-bat, hit a ball high but stayed in the ballpark that was caught.
