LEGION BASEBALL
Late rally for Sixers comes up short

 

By Journal staff

BLOOMINGTON, MN - A change to wood bats produced no change in the Stevens Point American Legion baseball team's fortunes, as the Sixers were defeated 5-4 by the Bloomington Blues in at the Bloomington Wood Bat Tourn-ament on Friday.

The Sixers (0-2) rallied from a 4-0 deficit to tie the game in the seventh inning on a two-run single by Eric Schipferling, but the Blues won the game in the bottom of the ninth when, after losing pitcher Brandon Eckendorf walked two consecutive batters, Pat Ottum connected on a single for the game-
winner.

"Again, it was just a little too late for us," Sixers coach Brad Wysocki said. "It took the guys a little bit to get used to using wood bats, and once they did they got some hits, but by then we were forced to try and come back late."
Randy Printz went 3-for-5 with an RBI for the Sixers. Eckendorf worked the final three and two-thirds innings for the loss, replacing starter Brandon Ganoni, who gave up all four runs while striking out three.

The Sixers will resume action at the tournament today.
