The Warriors kept its tournament hopes alive by sweeping a doubleheader on Saturday at Commissioners Park in Frankfort.
The Warriors jumped out to an early lead after scoring four runs in the first inning against the Frankfort Eagles. Tim Prendergast doubled to deep leftfield to score two runs and Sam Marc lined a single into leftfield to score Tim.
Lance Cardinal held the Eagles scoreless through two innings. But, after yielding a double and two walks to start the third inning, the Warriors went to Jason Waner in relief. Later in the inning, Frankfort's #5 hitter hammered a home run to deep left-centerfield that carried an estimated 335 feet in the air to clear the fence--just missing my car by about 20 feet to the right. This three run homer gave the Eagles a 5-4 lead after three innings of play.
But, the Warriors scored six runs in the top of the fourth inning to regain the lead. Once again, Tim Prendergast slammed a deep fly ball to centerfield--this time for a triple. And, Sam Marc again lined a single to leftfield to score Tim. Sam would end up with four hits and five RBI in the ballgame.
The Warriors scored nine more runs before the game ended. C.J. Brucki hit the first home run of the season for the Warriors in the final inning of play.
WARRIORS: 19 runs, 15 hits, 2 errors, 8 left on base
FRANKFORT: 10 runs, 9 hits, 1 error, 8 men left on base
