The recently red hot Chargers offense left the fireworks at home on Sunday but were bailed out by a great pitching performance from Eric Schoenberg that propelled them to a thrilling 2-1 win over the Grovers on Sunday.  Eric and Meire Grove starter Matt Imdieke traded scoreless innings throughout the steamy afternoon in Spring Hill.  The game finally came to a close in the bottom of the ninth inning when Corey Schoenberg slid safely into home following a Jeff Schoenberg single, giving the Chargers their first ever 10 win regular season.

Eric pitched arguably the best game of the season for the Chargers, going the distance and striking out seven.  Spring Hill pitchers have become accustomed to turning around seeing a healthy run cushion in their favor.  Maybe a good ole’ fashion pitcher’s duel is just what the team needed.  The lone Grover run came on a two-out run scoring single by Greg Nathe in the 7^th.  Meire Grove had a potential run erased as Shawn Schoenberg threw out Ryan Meyer at home following a Cory Schneider single in the fifth.  It was a close play at the plate as Nate Terres had to run halfway to third to tag Meyer out.  The Grover scouting report was a bit off; thinking the infection Shawn was dealing with was in his right arm, not his leg. 

The offense was stymied a bit by Imdieke on Sunday, lacking punch all afternoon.  The lone bright spot was Nate Terres’ solo home run in the second inning.  The blast put him in a tie with Shawn and Corey for the team lead with three.  It also proved to be enough to last until the ninth inning rally, giving the Chargers a game and half lead in SCL North.
