Monday, June 22: Home vs. Panther Valley

     Outlaws 4     Panther Valley 2

   Jim Redington (4-0) pitched his 3rd complete game of the season and T.J. O'Connor drove in 2 runs as the Outlaws defeated the Panther Valley Black Diamonds 4-2 to up their record to 8-1.

  The Outlaws got on the board in the bottom of the 2nd.  With one out, Redington was hit by a pitch and Taylor Weinman followed with a walk.  Brian Boesenberg sacrificed the runners to 2nd and 3rd.  With 2 out, Justin Slager walked.  O'Connor followed with a shallow fly ball to right field that eluded the glove of the diving right fielder.  His single drove in 2 runs and gave the Outlaws a 2-0 lead.

  The Black Diamonds tied the score in the top of the 4th.  This would be the only inning Redington would run into trouble. 

  In the bottom of the inning, the Outlaws took the lead for good thanks to a 2-run error by the center fielder. 

  Weinman led off the inning with a single and advanced to third on a Boesenberg single to right.  Boesenberg stole 2nd to put runners on 2nd and 3rd with none out.  However, Slager struck out and O'Connor grounded out to third.  Joe Abuiso walked to load the bases. Donnie Pietrafesa drilled a hard liner to center that the center fielder botched and dropped allowing Weinman and Boesenberg to score and a 4-2 Outlaws lead.

  This would be a big enough lead for Redington who settled down and didn't run into trouble the rest of the game. 

  Redington would strike out 2, walk 2 and scatter 5 hits in giving up 2 runs.
