The Mudcats got off to a rough start, allowing four runs in the first inning. After that, starting pitcher Justin Pijaszek settled in and pitched very well over the next few innings. The Mudcats chipped away, scoring on an error in the first, and on a pair of RBI singles by Keagan Titmuss in the second and fourth.
The Mudcats could get no closer though as Goodrich tacked on two in the fifth and two more in the seventh. The Mudcats added a run of their own in the seventh to close out the scoring at 8-4
GAME 2
After losing the opener, the Mudcats were sitting on a three game losing streak and needed to come out hot to change the momentum. They did just that.
Kyle Genord led off the first with a double, followed by a Keagan Titmuss single. Brian Caine reached on an error that scored one, and Drew Morningstar tripled in two. Jack Scribner drove in a run with an infield hit and went to third on Jason Caine's hit and run single to right. Morningstar served as a courtesy runner for Jason Caine, and stole 2nd base, with Scribner scoring when the throw was wild for another error. Max Eaton walked and Goodrich brought in a new pitcher with the score 5-0. Mudcat bats went silent from there, not scoring again until the fifth, but the damage was already done.
On the mound for the Mudcats, Tim Hayden worked in and out of trouble all night long. Over the first five innings, he allowed two hits, five walks, and one hit batsman. Every time Goodrich threatened though, Hayden and the Mudcats defense came through.
Goodrich finally scored one unearned run in the sixth, but with the bases loaded, Hayden got the final two outs, to close out the 6-1 victory with a complete game win.
