Orioles Defense Rolls and Offense Aids in Home JV Opener vs SFC

The Lennox JV would start earlier than normal due to Lennox’s loss and they would start with 8^th Grader Quincy Ihnnen pitching vs Sioux Falls Christian.

In the first, two strikeouts and a fly out would make the top of the first quite easy. In the bottom of the first, 8^th Grader Ray Williams would walk and steal 2^nd base. Quincy Ihnnen would strike out and Brock Stein would hit a RBI triple to make it 1 to 0. Anderson would fly out and Ziegler would strike out to end the first. A leadoff triple for SFC would end up scoring on a sacrifice ground out. However, a hit by pitch would be avoided with two strike outs to end the top of the second. In the home half of the second, Matt Wolf’s single and Cole Feterl’s base on error put runners on second and 1^st. Matt Bruns would ground into a fielder’s choice for out number one. McLaren would strike out and then Ray Williams came through with a RBI single to make it 2 to 1. Following Ray’s single, Ihnnen would single and make it 3 to 1. Stein struck out to end the 2^nd inning.

In the third, two strikeouts and a fielder’s choice would end the inning easily for Ihnnen. In the bottom of the 3^rd, Lennox capitalized with 2 runs on three walks, one hit and one Sioux Falls Christian error to make it 5 to 1 Lennox. Quincy Ihnnen would strike out the side and end the top of the fourth very easily. In the bottom of the 4^th, Brock Stein and Brock Anderson had leadoff walks. After Stein stole 2^nd and 3^rd and Brock Anderson stole 2^nd, a wild pitch came through and scored Brock Stein. After 4 innings, it was 6 to 1 Orioles. In the 5^th, Brock Anderson came in to finish and two strike outs and a fly out ended the inning on 9 pitches.

The Orioles won 6 to 1 and looked at what was really positive about the game. It isn’t easy having no errors in a game but they had zero errors. They also out hit SFC 5 to 2. Combined, Ihnnen and Anderson allowed 0 walks and two hits. They struck out 11 of the 15 possible hitters.

Go Orioles!!
