Red Hot Dawgs Take UNC Double-Header For Eleventh Straight Win
May 20, 2022 | Baseball
SEATTLE - Following last night's blowout of Northern Colorado, a mutual coaches decision was made to limit today's double-header games to seven innings. Though the first game was never in doubt, Bear pitching held the Huskies a bit more in check limiting them to just five runs on 13 hits and one walk. Starter Adam Bloebaum held the Bears scoreless however, earning the Dawgs a 5-0 win. Pitching concerns returned for the Bears in the second game as the Dawgs got out to a scorching start plating 10 runs in the first. Calvin Kirchoff gave the Bears little opportunity to chip away, limiting them to just two runs over five innings. The Husky offense took advantage of 11 hits and nine walks for a 16-6 victory and the Huskies' eleventh win in a row!
GAME ONE
BOTTOM OF 1
Cam Clayton got things started in the first with a one-out line drive over the shortstop. Tincher crushed one to the third baseman who almost made an incredible diving play, but the ball leaked out of his glove and Johnny was safe at first. Simpson stepped in next and sent a grounder to short. With the only play to second, he was on with a fielder's choice while Clayton advanced to third. With two outs and a flair for the dramatic, Guerrero worked a full count and then crushed a double one to deep right center scoring both Simpson and Clayton to give the Dawgs an early 2-0 lead.
BOTTOM OF 2
Josh Urps kicked off the inning pulling a line drive base hit to right field. Another base hit to right had Barney safe at first with Urps now in scoring position. Clayton flared one into shallow left to load the bases. Later in the inning, with two outs Simpson followed with a solid drive to right center that drew interest from the crowd, but the centerfielder was able to range over for the catch to end the Husky threat.
BOTTOM OF 4
McKay Barney led off with beautiful bunt down the third base line for a base hit. Not to be outdone, Clayton followed with one of his own. A throwing error at third got by the first baseman handing Clayton second. Tincher took advantage of the RBI opportunity and plated two with a monster double into the left field corner. Aggressive baserunning had Tincher breaking for third on a grounder to the shortstop by Simpson. A pickle ensued with Tincher out on the play, however Simpson advanced to second on the fielder's choice. Guerrero stepped in next with two outs and drove a low line drive into center field plating Simpson to make it a 5-0 ballgame.
