SOMERSET: Somerset’s third pitcher of
the game, Andy
Harvey, retired the final batter of the game with the tying run on second
base to preserve the Eagles 6-5 victory over Bishop Carroll on Wednesday.
Somerset’s
starting pitcher Drew
Shaulis threw three shutout innings while allowing only one hit. Shaulis struck out four and did not walk a
batter.
Shaulis
helped his own cause in the bottom of the first by drawing a leadoff walk. He moved to second on the first of Tyler
Ferry’s two singles in the game. He
then scored as Tyler
Uphouse ripped a line drive to right.
Ferry scored when Adam
Angermeier bounced into a fielder’s choice. Angermeier scored the final run of the inning on a throwing
error.
In
the fourth, Adam Crookshank greeted Landon
Wahl with a double to right.
Crookshank scored when Matt Dumm reached on a fielding error.
Somerset
opened up a 6-1 lead in the fourth. Josh
Barron walked and scored on a groundout by Alex
Lenhart. Zach
Deist singled and scored when Shaulis reached on an error. Shaulis scored Somerset’s final run of the
game on Ferry’s single.
BC
made the game interesting in the sixth when they scored four runs off of
Wahl. Somerset committed two costly
errors in the inning. Harvey came on to
close out the inning, and he was able to hold BC scoreless in the seventh to
help Somerset maintain their perfect LHAC record.
Somerset
(7-1) will host Forest
Hills on Friday at 4:30.
