Rangers Lose Grip on
In a game that the Rangers needed to
stay in the hunt for the #2 or 3 seed in the MVABL, a much needed victory was
nowhere to be found.
In Game 1, Shawn Schmitt pitched an outstanding
ballgame, but once again fell victim to a lack of run support as the Rangers
lost 2-1.
The Rangers could only muster 5 hits in the first
game. Jake Kingsolver had 2 of them including his first HR of the season. The
Rangers had their chance to take a lead in the 5th by loading the bases with a
single from Joe Staten, a double by Schmitt and a walk to Matt Hood. However, a
strikeout and two short flyouts kept them stranded on
base.
The second game saw more of the same in terms of
stranding runners on base. The Rangers had 2 bases loaded situations again, but
could only get one of the runs to score. Clint Wolf and Jacob Robinson each had
2 hits in the nightcap. Joe Staten had 2 RBIs and Jonmarc Lippincott added the
other RBI.
