The inter-division rivals faced off for the first time this season at the New Drey, as the Flying Squirrels (10-2) hosted the Belgian Wiffles (5-3). Both teams were without their ace pitchers (Constanti, Phillips), so Craig Skinner took the mound for Belgian in Game 1. The Squirrels in need of a pitcher, found David Gapske, who is a veteran of the game and a great friend to our league. Belgian threatened to score a few times in the game, but kept leaving runners stranded. It wasn't until a bases loaded grounder in the top of the 7th was fielded by Ryan Bullard and when he tried to throw it to the pitcher, the ball hit the runner going to 3rd base. It was the only run Belgian needed, as Craig Skinner pitched seven perfect innings to win the first game 1-0.
Game 2 saw David Castle and Brandon Corbett face off. David Castle was battling soreness in his pitching arm, but still managed to pitch a complete game. Corbett relied on his defense by striking out only three batters, but did a great job at mostly allowing weak ground balls. The game was scoreless until the bottom of the fifth when the first three Squirrels reached on walks. Rookie Ryan Alexia walked himself in to end the game and Squirrels won 1-0. It was a hard fought two game series for the rivals, and I am sure both teams look forward to meeting again in Week 10.
