Game Notes: THESPIANS DEFEAT ATHLETES AGAIN

Longview, May 22, 2007: Columbia Theatre beat Athletes Corner 8-2 on a sunny Tuesday afternoon at Mark Morris Varsity Field.

Perhaps inspired by the environment at storied MM, both teams played spectacular baseball for the first hour of the contest. A tight pitching duel between Columbia Theater Thespian Colton Carpenter and Athletes Corner's Taylor Beck saw both teams scoreless through 4 innings.

However, in the top of the 5th, the actors scored 3 unearned runs to take a 3-0 lead.

Then in the top of the 6th, the roof fell in on AC's Beck and reliever Eli Lovingfoss, as CT plated another 5 runs (4 unearned), to make it 8-0. Zac McDonald came in to get the final out, and pitched a scoreless 7th inning.

Through 6 innings, Carpenter had given up only 3 hits and pitched out of jams that had Athletes on 3rd base on several occasions. His defense helped, especially in the 4th when, after Zac McDonald (batting left handed due to an injury to his left wrist) hit a line single to center, Braydon Poole made a diving stop of a hard grounder up the middle, stumbled to 2nd for the force on McDonald and rifled a shot to first to nip speedy Scotty Kirkpatrick.

Finally in the bottom of the 7th, Austin Wegdahl and Sean Atkins singled, moved up on a wild pitch, and scored on a ground out by Beck and an infield single by Branick Herold to spoil the shutout. However, Carpenter settled and struck out the last hitter to snuff the rally and end the game.

Poole played a flawless game at SS for CT, and AC made several great fielding plays, as well. Herold and Kirkpatrick threw runners out at home; Atkins made a diving catch of a popup bunt and threw to Lovingfoss to double up Micah McCann at first base; Beck smothered a swinging bunt, rolled over, scrambled to his feet and threw out the runner. Playing at 2nd base, Lars Ertolacci made a spectacular, run-saving leaping stab of an overthow of first base. Atkins picked 2 runners off 3rd base.
