PBR Future Games: Day One Review





By Greg Williams
Pennsylvania Director of Scouting 



Team Pennsylvania jumped on Ohio for a 1st inning run and added a pair of runs in the 5th inning for a 3-0 lead that held up until the bottom of the 6th inning.  A pair of 6th inning errors, the only defensive miscues of the day, led to Ohio erupting for four runs and a come-from behind 4-3 win.

Game 1 was highlighted by outstanding pitching from seven different Team Pennsylvania pitchers who tossed one inning each. Nick Parker and Adam Grintz faced the minimum in their one inning stints on the mound, while James Balogh registered three strikeouts in his scoreless inning.

The pitchers were aided by some outstanding defense that included a pair of outfield assists from Kyler Fedko in the 1st inning and from Adam Schwartz in the 4th inning. Pitchers also were aided by a pair of Team PA double plays that included a 2nd inning ending gem from Justin Wright that saw him tag the runner advancing from second base before completing the 5-3 throw to first base. The defense was back at work in the 4th inning as Thomas Caufield and Adam Smith twisted a pretty 6-4-3 double play to end the inning.

Cole Chesnet had a productive day at the plate going 1-for-2 with a walk, a run scored and a stolen base. Eric Grintz (1-for-3, RBI), Fedko (1-for-2, run scored) and Schwartz (1-for-2) added offensive support.

Team Pennsylvania wraps up game action today with a 9:00 am game vs. Team Ontario followed by a 12:00pm game against Team Michigan. Travis Perry will get the ball to start the early game while Sevin Schoeneweis will get the start in the 12:00 game. All seven pitchers that toed the rubber on day one will return to the hill for two innings each over the course of the two games.
