RHP SMITH GOES THE DISTANCE IN A 5-1 JACKHAMMERS WIN

 

JOLIET, IL-The Joliet JackHammers (1-1) jumped out to a 3-0 lead and got a complete-game performance from starting right-handed pitcher Matt Smith (3-4) to beat the Gary SouthShore RailCats (1-1) 5-1 is a crisply-played two hour and twenty-two minute affair before 5,218 fans at Silver Cross Field on Friday night.

 

The JackHammers got on the board in the second inning against Gary starting pitcher Travis Kerber (1-3). Chad Ehrnsberger (2-4) hit a leadoff single and went to second base when Dennis Blackmon (3-4) singled. Chris Brown (1-3) got on board with a base hit to move Ehrnsberger to third base. A sacrifice fly by Anthony Monegan (0-2) scored Ehrnsberger and gave the JackHammers a 1-0 lead.

 

JackHammers catcher Dennis Blackmon (3-4)  hit his eighth home run of the season in the fourth inning and gave Joliet a 2-0 advantage.

 

Joliet also pushed across one run in the sixth inning. Tim Hutting (1-3) led off the inning with a walk and went to second base on a single by Ehrnsberger. Kevin Sullivan (0-3) hit into a fielder’s choice to score Hutting and give Joliet a 3-0 lead.

 

The RailCats got on the board with a solo home run from Nate Price (1-4) in the seventh inning. Price hit his fourth home run of the season for Gary, who came within two runs at 3-1.

 

The JackHammers sealed the victory with two runs in the eighth inning. Hutting singled and scored when Juan Diaz (1-4) hit an RBI double for the JackHammers. Diaz went to third base on an errant throw from the outfield and scored on a sacrifice fly by Sullivan to make it 5-1 in favor of the JackHammers.
