David Sosebee

David Sosebee pitched a two-hit complete game and Brady Sheetz had a 5^th inning RBI single to score Jarred Mederos and the Keene Swamp Bats beat the Newport Gulls 1-0 Thursday night at Alumni Field.

·     

            Newport’s John Kilichowski held Keene hitless into the 5^th. Swamp Bats shortstop Jared Mederos broke through with a leadoff single and stole 2^nd and 3^rd base. Brady Sheetz laced an RBI single to left field, driving in Mederos to put the Swamp Bats ahead, 1-0.

·         Newport’s first hit was a 2^nd inning double by P.J. Jones. Jones was out attempting to stretch his hit into a triple with a sweet 9-4-5 relay.

·         In the 2^nd inning, Newport left fielder Anthony Lyons made a nice running catch to deny Mederos an extra-base hit.

·         In the 4^th inning, infielder Tommy Edman singled to right but was the victim of a sharp pickoff by Sosebee. First baseman Aubrey McCarty made the tag.

·         Sosebee’s 8^th inning is indicative: Outfielder Ben Roberts popped out to 3^rd baseman Patrick McGrath.  Jones was retired on a 6-3 ground ball. Lyons struck out swinging. 6 pitches.

·         The game was completed in an hour and 46 minutes.
