Mudcats Move Into 1st Place With Win

The Titans scored first in this battle of first and second place teams. Dan Boehme doubled and advanced to third on a throwing error in the second inning. He scored on a Nick Kopy ground ball to make it 1-0 Titans. Quinn Construction responded in the bottom of the 3rd. Tarran Senay doubled and moved to third on Jim Pasquines ground ball. Pasquine reached base when the ball got past the shortstop and into left field. Pasquine went to second on the left fielders throw to third putting both runners in scoring position. AJ Olasz tied the game with a sac fly to center that scored Senay and advanced Pasquine to third. Angelo Volomino immediately put the Mudcats ahead with an RBI single, making it 2-1. The Mudcats added two more runs in the bottom half of the 4th inning. Logan Simmons walked and moved to second on a balk. Simmons moved to third on Bert Kovalsky's single and then stole home when the catcher tried to pick off Kovalsky at first. Kovalsky then stole second and came home on a Pasquine single, upping the score to 4-1. That score held up as no more runs were scored by either team. Corry Ryan earned the win with five solid innings of work for Quinn Construction. Pasquine finished it for Ryan with two scoreless innings. The player of the game had to be Kovalsky who displayed some outstanding defense down at the hot corner for the Mudcats. Kovalsky had five assists on some very difficult chances to keep the Titans off the scoreboard.
