Golden Eagles Down Phillies
Glens Falls, NY- The Glens Falls Golden Eagles won their first game against their Northway Rival Saratoga Phillies by a score of 7-2. The win gives Glens Falls a 2-1 record on the season.
Starting pitcher Jack Wagoner (Sacred Heart) pitched six innings, allowing only one earned run on four hits while striking out two. Ricky Anaya (South Florida) relieved Wagoner to start the seventh inning. Anaya pitched three scoreless innings for the save.
In what was going to appear to be another pitcher-dominant contest, the Golden Eagles caught a break in the bottom of the third inning when a Stefen Romero (Pima CC) grounder was muffed by Phillies first baseman Greg Annarummo (Elon). The error on the would-be third out resulted in two runs when Kody Johnson (Pima CC) followed with a deep shot to left-center. The Golden Eagles would add a run in the fourth on a two-out, run-scoring single by Chad Stang (Midland).
Glens Falls added more damage in the seventh when a Romero hit-by pitch, Johnson single and Evan McDole (Northern Kentucky) walk left the bases loaded with no one out. Jon Koscso (South Florida) singled home Romero and Johnson with one out—which was followed by a Jarrett Lukas (Maine) single to load the bases again. The threat was extinguished with two strikeouts to end the inning.
The Golden Eagles would threaten again, however, in the eighth inning with the bases loaded again, this time for a one-out, two-run single by designated hitter Todd Brazeal (South Florida).
Phillies starter Mike Mikolas (Nova Southeastern) was chased from the game in the bottom of the sixth after a two-out single and base on balls. Mikolas pitched five and two-thirds innings, allowing three runs (only one earned) on seven hits before being relieved by Dennis O’Grady (Duke). O’Grady lasted one and a third innings, allowing two runs on three hits and striking out three.
The Golden Eagles are next in action on Tuesday, June 10 as they make their first trip to Watertown, NY to battle the Wizards at 7p.m. at Duffy Fairgrounds. The next home game for Glens Falls is on Wednesday, June 11 when they will host the Bennington Bombers.
