Errors and Mistakes prove costly for the Boars

Week 2, Schoolhouse Park Centerville Ohio, The Washington Twp Wild Boars welcomed in the Darke County Dodgers to the Park. While Dodgers pitcher Iverson Ventura and the Dodgers Blue Crew continued to confuse the Boars even into the new season. Ventura kept the Boars bats in neutral for almost the entire game.

The Boars as a whole made one uncharacteristic mistake after another compiling 6 errors resulting in 7 runs for the Dodgers. PJ Dobbins came on to pitch and silenced the Dodgers through 6 and 1/3rd innings while Ryan Earley worked the final 2 the 2 combined to hold the Dodgers scoreless from the 3rd inning on.

The Boars had a slim chance to avoid the shutout in the 6th as Mike Wischer III laced a single to the outfield. Dobbins was put into run and made it to 3rd but was held. The Boars finally pushed a run across in the 8th on an errant pickoff attempt after Jacob Greve was HBP. It was one of the few mistakes Ventura would make all day.

The Boars bats woke up in the 5th as the top of the Boars order had 4 straight singles and then after a flyout 2 more gave the Boars 4 runs. The Boars would draw to within 2 at 7 to 5 as they created the 3rd out on ground ball to give the Dodgers the Win.

The 1 and 1 Wild Boars will welcome the Angels of Springfield to Centerville Sunday and try to break out of the mistake prone zone they were in game time is 12pm.
