Lake County Fielders News Release


The Lake County Fielders (7-11) won the first game of Wednesday's night doubleheader against the Joliet JackHammers (9-9) 4-1. The game was originally scheduled for Tuesday, but was cancelled due to inclement weather, leaving the two teams to play two seven inning games Wednesday night.

The Fielders scored first in the second inning. Shortstop Kyle Higgins ripped a double and was brought around by a single off Hank Lanto, his first hit and RBI as a Fielder. The Fielders defense then retired six consecutive JackHammers.

The Fielders scored a single run in the fourth after Andrew Riddick stole his first base as a Fielder and reached on a sac fly hit by Amos Ramon.

Joshua Short laced his third home run on the year; a two run homer in the top of the fifth to give the Fielders a 4-0 lead. The JackHammers answered back with one unearned run in the bottom of the fifth.

Starting pitcher Corey Bass (2-2) took the win for the Fielders, pitching four and two-thirds innings, giving up four hits, one unearned run and striking out three. Chris Homer was tagged with his third save of the year, pitching one scoreless inning.

The second game of the doubleheader started shortly after 9PM, with new Fielder Ryan Bicondoa taking the mound for the first time against Todd Privett. The Fielders wrap up this series Thursday at Joliet at 6:10PM. Catch the action live at 1220 WKRS.
