RUSSELL, Pa. – Luke Wright went 4-4 and drove in four runs as Union City topped Eisenhower, 7-2.
Rewatch the game:
Wright had an RBI double in the first, and RBI singles in the third, fifth, and seventh. The Bears used a 4-run third to break the game open.
“I’ve been in a slump the last few games so it just felt good to break out of it,” Wright said during his Cole Orthodontic Associates player interview. “Daithin Kent threw a great game and that kind of lifted the whole team up.”
Kent allowed two earned runs on seven hits with three walks and six strikeouts. He also doubled and scored three runs.
Aiden Shuman, Lucas Doutt, and Ian Kinney each had an RBI.
Derek Childs’ hit a 2-run double in the fifth to score both Eisenhower runs.
Caleb Jakubczak took the loss allowing six runs, five earned, on eight hits with a walk and four strikeouts. Griffin Williams allowed one earned run on one hit with a walk and two strikeouts in two innings.
