CORRELL SWINGS JOLIET TO A 7-6 VICTORY OVER SCHAUMBURG

 

JOLIET-LF Brad Correll went 3-5 with two home runs and three RBI to help the Joliet JackHammers (19-30) survive for a 7-6 win over the Schaumburg Flyers (22-23) in the opener of a four-game series before 2,183 fans at Silver Cross Field on Thursday night.

 

The JackHammers jumped on top of the Flyers with a solo home run by Correll in the first inning. He smacked a pitch over the center field wall against Schaumburg LHP Carmen Pigantiello for a 1-0 Joliet lead.

 

The Flyers tied the game with a solo home run off the bat of DH Felix Jose (2-4) in the 4th inning. He powered a ball over the right field wall onto “power alley” against Joliet RHP Rory Shortell for a 1-1 tied score.

 

Schaumburg took advantage of some key Joliet errors to take a 5-1 lead in the 5th inning.

1B Craig Maddox (3-3) singled and moved to second base when LF Jeff Dunbar (0-3) reached base on an error. SS Travis Brown (0-4) reached base on a fielder’s choice that retired Maddox at third base.

 

The JackHammers got into trouble when they tried to turn the double play. A throwing error moved Dunbar to third base and Brown to second base. C Richard Mercado (2-4) singled to load the bases and after CF Travis Ezi (0-5) struck out, 2B Jose Valdez (2-5) hit a grand-slam home run for a 5-1 Schaumburg lead.

 

The JackHammers scored three runs in the 5th inning thanks to one swing of the bat for the red-hot Correll. 2B Issac Omura (0-2) led off the inning by flying out to left field. CF Adam Klein (0-4) and SS Kevin Rios (2-3) each followed with walks. Correll smacked a three-run home run to get the JackHammers within one run at 5-4.

 

In the 6th inning, the JackHammers took the lead for good. `1B Freddie Thon (2-4) led off the inning with a single and moved to second base on a sacrifice bunt by C Phil Avlas (1-4). Omura followed with a walk and Klein grounded out to move both runners into scoring position at second and third base.

 

Rios smacked a two-run double to score Thon and Omura. Correll hit a single to score Rios for a 7-5. Correll’s hit proved to be the game-winner for the JackHammers, with the Flyers scoring a run in the 7th inning to get within one run at 7-6.

 

Shortell went six innings and allowed five runs, (one earned run), on eight hits to pick up the win. RHP Drew Shetrone worked one-third of an inning for his third save of the season.
