Shocks take the series opener Friday night with a 4-1 win over Indiana State.
Not a lot of offense in this game on a night with the wind blowing briskly out to left field. Shocks with 6 hits and the Sycamores with 4 hits. The Shocks committed 2 errors to none for the Sycamores.
Shockers were helped mightily by some charity from Indiana State pitchers in the form of walks.
In the 3rd, Cody Bobbitt doubles with 1 out. After Garrett Bayliff grounded out to SS, Casey G. and Tyler Baker walked to load the bases. Johnny Coy made them pay with a 2-out, 2-run single up the middle.
In the 6th, Erik Harbutz singled up the middle and Mikel Mucha reached safely on a bunt single to put runners at 1st and 2nd with no outs. Dayne Parker popped up to the C trying to bunt and Joe Haddox popped out to SS. Cody Bobbitt then beat out an infield grounder to 3rd base to load the bases. Indiana State's relief pitcher kindly delivered 2 runs with back-to-back walks to Garrett and Casey.
Cale Elam picked up the win allowing 1 unearned run on 3 hits and 3 walks over 7 innings and Albert Minnis closed out the final two innings allowing 1 hit and 1 walk.
Shocks still struggling to string any offense together. They may not have scored tonight if it wasn't for the free passes by Sycamore pitchers at key points in the game.
I don't think either of these teams will particularly remind you of the 1927 Yankees.
