THE SKINNY STORY
Wooster built a 3-2 lead after the fifth inning that swelled to a 5-3 final advantage over Gettysburg.
THE LEADERS
•
Jack Burke (Montclair, N.J./Montclair) went 2-for-3 with one run, one walk, and a stolen base.
FOR THE FOES
• Zack Barienbrock led the Scots with two hits, a run, and a walk.
THE REST OF THE STORY
• An early pitcher's duel saw neither team score until the bottom of the fourth. A Colin Leslie single and stolen base enabled Andrew McGow to single and bring in the first run of the game. Gettysburg got it back plus an extra in the next inning, scoring on singles and stolen bases by both Burke and
Robert Murphy (Berkeley Heights, N.J./Governor Livingston). A triple by
Alexey Stout (Wall, N.J./Christian Brothers Academy) plated both runs for a 2-1 Gettysburg lead.
• Wooster took the lead for good in the bottom of the fifth. After two doubles and an error made it a 2-2 game, two more runs came in on a walk and a hit batter.
• Gettysburg scored their final run of the game in the top of the seventh after a Burke walk and
Brian Andersen (Chester, N.J./West Morris Mendham) single, but couldn't complete the comeback as Wooster added another in the bottom of the seventh on a sacrifice fly for a 5-3 final.
THE INSIDE STORY
• Both teams tallied seven hits.
•
Brian Andersen went 2-for-3 with one run scored and one RBI.
