The Barons and Biscuits came in a game in a game in a Wednesday, with the decisive, winner-take-all game 3 on the horizon. Unfortunately the weather did not cooperate, so the series 1-1 remained from the end of Wednesday. However, the barons are in a great position to take another title home.
In the first place of the third, the contact and speed threats, Rikuu Nishida and William Bergolla did what they do best. Nishida hit an Infield Single and a throw error could continue to the second to open the frame. Bergolla followed with a single to put runners in the corners without outs. Although Sam Antonacci stopped, a wild pitch Nishida allowed the first run of the game to score. Ryan Galanie reached a mistake and Caden Connor was a single to ride in the lead of Bergolla and Double Birmingham.
The Baronen took 2-0 lead in the fifth, when their attack went back to work. Antonacci and Galanie hit back-to-back singles to open that inning. Connor and Alec Makarewicz were retired, but Calvin Harris ran to load the bases and expand the inning. Stolen basic machine Jordan Sprinkle stepped on the plate, and he showed that he could also deliver on the plate while held a coupling doubles to erase the bases. That was a huge hit for the fast infielder and pushed the lead to 5-0.
Meanwhile, Hagen Smith, one of the WhiteThe best prospects, started on the hill for Birmingham and was difficult for Montgomery to solve. In the first four innings, only three cookies reached the base safely against Smith (two walks and a single), and he ran all those runners. The cookies came on the board against the barons in the bottom of the fifth, when Smith Back-to-Back walked walks to open the inning and Brock Jones hit an RBI single. That single reduced the shortage from Montgomery to four, and that was when the rain came.
The teams will resume the action on Thursday at 12:05 pm, with the barons 5-1 in the bottom of the fifth. When the game is resumed, the cookies will have runners on the first and second without outs, and Birmingham will have a new pitcher on the hill in Smith’s relief.
