Jackets hand Celina 1st loss

0

Staff report

CELINA — Sidney ran into one of the top pitchers in the area in the first game Saturday, with a predictable outcome.

But in the second game, the Jackets pushed a run across in the top of the eighth and made it stand up.

They lost the first game 8-1, but won the second 4-3 to snap a six-game losing streak, and at the same time hand Celina its first loss of the season.

Sidney is now 2-7 and will be back in action today at home against Troy. Celina is 7-1.

In the first game, the Jackets faced Celina’s Seth Lonsway, who attracted pro scouts to the game. He gave up a run to the Jackets early on, but allowed just three hits and struck out 11.

“There is a reason Seth Lonsway is going to Ohio State to pitch and that there were pro scouts at the game,” said Sidney coach Thomas Goffena. “He was a great pitcher that we got to a little early, but once he settled down you just had to tip your cap to the pitcher. He was impressive to watch as a baseball fan.”

Sidney got a double from Corbin Smith.

In the nightcap, Sidney trailed 2-1 after five but got two in the sixth to take the lead on a clutch two-run double by Zane Walker. Celina tied it in the bottom of the seventh, but Sidney pushed across the go-ahead run in the eighth on a perfectly-executed suicide squeeze, also by Walker, that scored Dillon King. It gave Walker three runs batted in.

King had two of Sidney’s five hits, and Walker and Cole Hoffman both doubled.

“We had a timely hit by Zane (Walker) that scored two runs to put us up in the sixth inning, and that was followed by a perfect suicide squeeze by Zane in the 8th,” said Goffena. “There are some things we have to clean up on defense but I was happy with the way we played today. Any time you can throw strikes like we did today you have to make plays. Austin McLain came on in relief with a gutsy performance that shut them down the last three innings. Any time you can beat an undefeated team this time of the year it’s good for your baseball team.”
