The Warriors rallied in the bottom of the fourth inning to put the Oak Forest Blue Demons away on Saturday morning at Schussler Park.
Connor Bartle was the Warriors' starting pitcher and threw three scoreless innings. He walked three, but did not allow a hit--and recorded his 8th victory of the season.
The Warriors scored just one run in the first three innings. Jim Robley hit his fourth double of the season in the second inning and scored on Matt Olinski's base hit to leftfield. Matt Olinksi would go on to get three hits and five RBI in this ballgame!
Matt Carroll pitched the fourth and fifth innings for the Warriors. Matt allowed just one hit and held the Blue Demons scoreless in that span. Matt has now allowed just two earned runs in 13 innings of work this season--and ranks second on the staff with a 1.08 earned run average (ERA).
The Warriors scored seven runs on six hits in the bottom of the fourth to put this one away. Matt Olinksi and Patrick O'Connor hit back-to-back doubles in the inning. Pat's double landed just fifteen feet from the leftfield wall.
Matt Olinkski pitched the final two innings for the Warriors. He allowed one earned run and struck out two.
One other note of interest was Matt LeVigne's two consecutive hit by pitches. He now has a commanding lead with 5 HBP's for the season.
