Ducks Go 1-1 with Sports

June 12, 2003 - Central Baseball League (Central League)
Springfield/Ozark Mountain Ducks News Release


The Springfield/Ozark Mountain Ducks were high on a four game winning streak but turned a corner when they headed to Louisiana.

Tuesday night brought a sad loss for the Ducks against the Shreveport Sports. Phillip May (2-3) started for the Ducks and pitched four innings. May delivered two strikeouts but gave up two walks and nine runs, seven of those earned. Drew Prater came in for relief in the fifth inning. Prater struckout five players, gave up two walks and one run. Shreveport pitcher Ryan Snyder pitched his third complete game and third shutout of season against the Ducks in the first game of a three game stand.

Wednesday’s night’s game boosted the Ducks to number three in the whole Central League, standing at 18-14, only two wins behind the Shreveport Sports. The Sports lost to the Ducks Wednesday night when Tim McClaskey pitched another complete game and gained a win. McClaskey’s record is now 6-1. He had only one earned run for the night, no walks and 11 strikeouts to put his ERA at 1.20. Terence Green hit a home run, with Bryan King making two runs and Nick Sorensen making a run. The Ducks were the first on the scoreboard the second with two runs. Shreveport came back to tie the score 2-2 at the end of the third. However that didn’t last long as the Ducks scored another run at the top of the fourth. Shreveport scored their final run of the night to even the score one more time, but were surprised when the Ducks scored in the seventh and held the Sports off for the rest of the game to win with a final score of 4-3.
