The Lions Baseball offense came alive on Wednesday night in a LI Boys of Summer match up. They were able to get offense from their whole lineup.
After the game, Lions Baseball pitcher Alex Czarnomski was asked about the performance of his teammates and he said, “We battled with good at-bats and got a lot of walks and got base runners on and good things will happen”. When asked how he was able to pitch in the middle of the game and shut the other team down, Alex said “I was just trying to throw strikes. My fastball was working and I decided to stay with my fastball. My defense did a good job behind me tonight”.
The North Shore pitcher got the first out of the game but quickly ran into trouble. Bobby Marsh hit a single to get the first hit of the game. Alex Czarnomski walked and Josh Phit hit into a fielder’s choice to bring in the games first run to make it 1-0. The following batter, Tucker Schiavoni hit an RBI single to make it 2-0.
North Shore came to bat in the bottom of the first. The Lions pitcher got the first two outs of the inning. Chris Bartlett walked and then he stole 2nd base. Will Sebetic reached on an error by the 3rd baseman. That would make it 2-1 – but that was as close as they would get. It was all Lions Baseball for the rest of the game.
