Saturday, June 7: Away vs. Bushkill Patriots

Outlaws 16     Bushkill Patriots 4

   Glenn Iversen pitched the Outlaws' first complete game of the season and Josh Perch went 3-4 with a walk as the Outlaws won their 6th straight with a 16-4 victory against the Bushkill Patriots.

  The Outlaws offense quickly staked the team to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first.  James Loua led off with a double and scored on Donnie Pietrafesa's single for a fast 1-0 lead.  Perch would drive in Pietrafesa and Larry Kresge would score Perch when shortstop Michael Lester couldn't handle Kresge's grounder. 

  The Patriots would answer right back in the bottom of the first.  Iversen allowed 3 of the first Patriots batters to reach base as the score closed to 3-2.  But Iversen settled down striking out the last 2 batters of the inning preserving the lead.

  The Outlaws would build onto their lead in the top of the 2nd.  James Iversen, Loua, Pietrafesa and Jake Hollweg would all score as the Outlaws built a commanding 7-2 lead.

  That would be more than enough for Iversen.  Iversen found his rhythm in the middle innings; after the slow start in the first, he would retired 9 Patriots in a row before a one-out single in the 4th.  But the runner was quickly erased as Iversen picked him off as he attempted to steal 2nd.  He would get out of the 4th with a strike out.

  The Outlaws offense would score runs in the 4th, 5th and 6th as they built a 16-2 lead.  Rick Orengo doubled and finished the game with 2 hits and 2 rbi's.  Jake Hollweg continued his sizzling season with 3 more rbi's.

  Iversen finished the game with 8 strikeouts and only 2 walks.
