Mahoning Valley Scrappers News Release


Scoring was at a premium again on Sunday night in Williamsport as the Crosscutters scored three run in the bottom of the first off of Scrappers starter Kaimi Mead. In the inning the Scrappers committed two errors so the three runs Mead gave up were unearned. Then in the third the cutters added a solo run off of Mead, it was a double by D'Arby Myers and a RBI single from Brandon Haislet making it 4-0 Crosscutters.

Williamsport starter Kyle Drabek (son of 1990 CY Young Award winner Doug Drabek) pitched the first six innings and allowed just one Scrapper base it. The score remained the same 4-1 Cutters' threw the sixth and we to the seventh inning.

In the Scrappers seventh, cord Phelps led off with a walk then stole second and then third and scored on Brock Simpson's RBI double. The Cutters' responded with a run in the bottom of the seventh, and relief pitching held both teams off of the board and we went to the ninth still 5-1 Cutters.

In the ninth the Scrappers were retired quickly and the Cutters swept the two game series winning game two 5-1.
