The Red team has opened up a 2-0 lead in the fifth annual red/gold series. They won Wednesday's second game by a final score of 8-2, although the game was much closer than the score would indicate. The Red team scored 7 runs in the final two innings to put it out of reach. The gold team opened with a run in the first when junior Josh Morgan doubled to right, scoring senior Erich Glastetter who had singled and stole second. The Red team would tie the game at one in the top of the fourth on a walk, error, sac bunt and an rbi single by senior Matt Stumme. The gold team would quickly jump back on top in the bottom of the fourth. Morgan singled with one out, stole second, and scored on junior Garett King's RBI single to the opposite field. The red team took the lead for good in the top of the sixth with a three run inning. Senior Dalton Frize doubled to lead off the inning and advanced to third on a wild pitch. Brad Rinehart doubled in two more runs (his third and fourth of the series). Freshmen Grant Horwitz also got an RBI on a fielder's choice with the bases loaded. The Red team added four more runs in the top of the seventh on an RBI single by Stumme, and a two-run double by junior Colin Brecheen. Senior Zac Walker got the win for the red team by scattering 6 hits and giving up two earned runs. Freshmen Chris Burica threw two shutout innings to earn the save. Junior Lance Simpson started the game for the Gold team. Although only giving up one hit, the right-hander walked 5 and had to be removed after four innings. He left with a 2-1 lead. Fresh Cole Spear took the loss.

 

Game 3 of the Red/Gold Series will be Friday night (2/8/13) at 6:00pm at Hart.
