Rangers Finish on Winning Note

  The Dayton Rangers swept the season series from divisional foe, the Bellbrook Reapers, winning 24-3 Sunday morning.

      Jacob Robinson started on the mound for the Rangers and went five strong innings allowing a pair of unearned runs, striking out five. Jacob finished with a team best 3.72 ERA on the season. Jared Bradley rebounded from a line drive off the knee last Tuesday night to pitch the final two innings.

All eleven Rangers hitters had at least one hit on the day, led by Clint Wolf (3-for-4, 4 runs, 6 RBI, 2 triples, double) and Jacob Robinson (4-for-5, 3 runs, RBI, SB). Clint’s triples asserted him with the Ranger single season record of seven three-baggers. Other offensive numbers: Gary Robinson (2-for-4, 3 runs, 2 RBI, 2BB), Jonmarc Lippincott (2-for-5, 2 runs, 2 RBI, sac), Jared Bradley (1-for-4, run, 3RBI, sac), Brent Collinsworth (1-for-5, run), Dave Roemerman (2-for-4, 2 runs, 3 RBI, triple), Jeremy Lippincott (2-for-5, 2 runs, 2RBI, 2SB), Aaron Armstrong (1-for-4, run, 2RBI), Jelani Arnold (1-for-3, 3 runs, double, 2BB), James Robinson (1-for-2, 2 runs, RBI, 3BB).

One defensive highlight came from Jonmarc Lippincott, playing left field for the first time this season, who took a page out of Willie Mays’ handbook to snag an over-the-shoulder catch on a hard shot off the bat of Joel Hall in the fourth inning.
