Tale of Two Games


Toledo - The Steam scored 3 in the top of the 7th to claim game one, and then squandered a 3 run lead by giving up 4 in the 7th of game two.  The doubleheader split earned the Steam a share of first place with Columbus.

Nathan Jones of Northern Kentucky pitched 6 strong innings for the Steam in game one for the win, and Matt Winterhalter closed it out by pitching a scoreless 7th.  The bats were quiet until the final inning when the Steam managed to push across 3 runs for a 4-2 win.

Game two was just the opposite.  Asif Shah had a 3 hit gem going when he entered the 7th.  Five hits and 4 runs later, the Steam were saddled with their 4th loss and a doubleheader split.

The Steam return home Tuesday night to face Lima at Western Hills High School.
