The baseball gods were shining on Summit as they got 5 unearned runs in the 6th inning and hung on to win the Iron Hills Championship 5-4. It
was a real pitchers duel thru the bottom of the 6th, when 3 hits and 4 errors combined to produce the 5 runs. Jason Flores pitched very well for
6 innings scattering 6 hit and allowing only one earned run. But it was Morris Hills' Rakowski-Kuhlmann (7-2 for the season) who dominated
the game for the first 5 innings. During that time he faced only 15 batters (the minimum possible) and gave up only 1 hit (to Josh Lipsey). Even
more remarkable, he only threw 52 pitches of which only 15 were balls. He really was awesome. But in the Summit 6th the defense behind him
collapsed. With one out, Lipsey hit a ground ball that the third baseman bobbled. Lipsey made second on a wild pitch. Duane Dates was then
given a free ride when the shortstop threw wild to 1st on his grounder. Lipsey scored on this error and Dates went to second. Dates scored the
tieing run when the catcher threw the ball into left field as Dates stole 3rd. Fred Luberto kept things alive with a single and moved to 2nd on a
wild pitch. Brendan Reilly delivered the go ahead run with a single that drove in Luberto. Jared Chellevold got on base on yet another error
by the 3rd baseman. After Kyle Bennett popped out for the second out. Ben Wheeless delivered a double (Summit's only extra base hit) that
brought home both Reilly and Chellevold to give Summit a 5-2 lead with one inning to go. But the excitement was not over. In the MH 7th the
lead off hitter singled and Coach Dietz brought in Chellevold in relief. Jared got off to a shaky start as the next batter singled on the first pitch.
This was followed by a walk to load the bases. A sacrifice fly brought in one run. The next batter walked and the bases were reloaded. A
fielder's choice allowed another run to come in making the score 5-4 with runners now on 1st and 3rd and 2 outs. The tension was awful. The
count went to 3 and 2 on the next batter, but the next pitch was a called 3rd strike to end the tension and the game. Flores got the win bringing
his record to 5-1.
