Sanderson Funeral Home Twins 8
KFC/Taco Bell Orioles 3
The Twins and Orioles met in the early evening contest this past Thursday at the local Crump Paris Park. The Orioles were anxious to pull a big upset early but just could not get anything going late as the Twins pulled away in this one.
The Orioles struck quickly in the first as they took an early 3-0 lead into the second, but the Twins had had enough of that as they struck for one in the second and five in the third to take a 6-3 lead to the fourth. They tacked on one in the fourth and one more in the sixth to win the contest 8-3.
The Twins pitching duo of Grant Winfree and Ethan Hackett proved to be enough as they slammed the door on the Orioles offensive attack after the first inning. Hackett picked up the win going four innings of relief allowing only one hit, while striking out three.
The Twins were led by Jase Holder, Nathan Huff, Cody Bryant, Grant Winfree, and Nick Dillehay who each had one hit. They took advantage of numerous walks and errors by the Orioles to score their eight runs.
The Orioles mustered only two hits in the contest. They were led by Barrett Briggs and Kolby Sloan who each had one hit.
