Daredevils Bested in 1-0 Decision

June 20, 2011 - Coastal Plain League (Coastal Plain)
Outer Banks Daredevils News Release


KILL DEVIL HILLS - Both the Outer Banks Daredevils and Peninsula Pilots received strong pitching performances from their starters and the Pilots were able to hang on to a 1-0 victory at the First Flight Baseball Complex.

The story of the game was the duel between the starting pitchers - Joe Candelmo of the Daredevils and Chad O'Connor of the Pilots. After two strike outs in the first inning, Candelmo ran into some trouble in the second inning. Shortstop Jimmy Rider doubled down the left field line, and then proceeded to steal third base. Designated Hitter Jake Hibberd then singled Rider home for the only run of the game.

Chad O'Connor pitched a strong game for the Pilots, as he only allowed one hit through six innings. He needed fifteen pitches - ten of them balls - to escape the first inning, but then retired twelve of the next fourteen batters he faced.

As good as the starting pitching was, the relieving corps for both teams was just as effective. For the Daredevils, Joe Spring threw three innings, struck out three, walked none, and only allowed two hits. Jake Atwell and Mike Devine of the Pilots combined to close out and preserve the win as they threw three shutout innings, struck out four, and allowed one hit.

The Daredevils offense was stagnant as they could only manage two hits on the day. Jordan Keur was one for four and Chris Resse was one for two. For the Pilots, Jimmy Rider was one for four with a double and second baseman Ivan Hartle was two for four.

Joe Candelmo ended his night after six innings, striking out six, allowing one run on three hits and walking three. Chad O'Connor threw six innings, only allowed one hit, walked two, struck out three and kept the Daredevils scoreless.

The Daredevils will now travel to Edenton tomorrow to face the Steamers, and then return to home to face Catawba Valley on Wednesday and Wilson on Thursday. All home games are at the First Flight Baseball Complex - first pitch at 7:05p.m. For more information, email info@obxdaredevils.com or follow them at twitter.com/outerbankscpl.
