WSL Wednesday Recap: Nationals, Giants, A’s Pick Up Victories
July 16, 2015
The West Allis Nationals won their first game of the Wisconsin Amateur Baseball Classic being hosted by the West Bend 7 Up. The Giants and A's also picked up non-WSL victories.
West Allis Nationals 5, Rubicon Red Sox 4
On Wednesday night the Nationals travelled to West Bend to begin Pool
play in the 24 team Wisconsin Amateur Baseball Classic tournament.
The Rubicon Red Sox, whom the Nationals have never before played, were
first up and the Nationals prevailed 5-4. The Nationals jumped to an
immediate lead in first when Matt Richer drove home Kyle Kalkopf. The
team added two more in the third on consecutive knocks by Brian
Huntzinger, Matt Richer, and Shey Smith. Smith and Richer teamed up
again in the fifth; Richer singled and Smith doubled him home.
Curt Pryal threw five scoreless innings to earn the victory. He allowed
no runs on two while striking out two. A two out rally in the bottom
half of the seventh brought the Red Sox back to 5-4, but Adam Widder
induced a weak ground ball for a force out and earned the save.
Next up in the WABC tourney are Monches Irish on Thursday night at 8:30pm in West Bend.
