Mosquitos Take Two Road Wins in St Marys
Twenty-four hours after an 18-6 road victory over St Marys Red, the Mitchell Feeney Design Build Mosquito WOBA Astros returned to the same King Field in St Marys, notching a come-from-behind 8-6 win over St Marys Black. Jack Miller earned the win in relief of starter Griffin Bree, striking out a total of 10 batters in his 3 2/3 innings of work before reaching his pitch count limit. Kellen Russwurm would strike out the final batter for the save.
Miller was also a force at the plate, hitting a game-tying two-run home run in the second inning followed by a three-run blast in the top of the seventh. The Astros entered the final inning down 4-2 and plated six runs as Wade Campbell singled to open the inning, and Matt Menheere, Charlie Geiger, Carson Gosling, and Brad Dearing all combined on RBI base hits to set the stage for Miller's game-winning hit. St Marys would threaten in the bottom half but could only score two more runs.
Russwurm had an outfield assist gunning down a running at third, and Campbell played strong defensively behind the plate.
