Sam Jones to score from third.
In the top of the sixth, the Campesinos
got an unearned run off Volcanoes pitcher
Brenden Nipp. After being hit by a pitch,
Collin Runge advanced to second on a
balk, then stole third. Volcanoes catcher
Brenden Barnes tried to throw out Runge
at third, but the ball got past his intended
target and went into the outfi eld, allowing
Runge to score.
Nipp went fi ve innings in relief for the
Volcanoes and struck out seven while only
giving up fi ve hits, but in the top of the
eighth, a clutch hit from Phillips tied the
game at 4-4.
Phillips blasted a ball to the warning
track in deep right fi eld. Volcanoes right
fi elder Tony Holton initially looked like he
had made the catch at the wall, but dropped
it on the transfer. Much to Holton’s dismay,
the base umpire ruled it a no-catch.
Phillis came into third for a triple, but
when the relay thow sailed past the cutoff
man, the league’s RBI and home run leader
came into score, giving the Campesinos all
the momentum.
“I have noticed that pitchers have kind
of been pitching to me diff erently, throw-
ing a lot of off -speed stuff ,” Phillips said. “I
was thinking about hitting the ball to right
center and letting the ball get deep, and it
played in my favor tonight,” Phillips said.
After Andrew Baxter came in to pitch a
1-2-3 frame in the bottom of the eighth, the
Campesinos off ense broke the game open
in the top of the ninth.
Fernando Rosales got the threat going
with a one-out, pinch-hit double, then
advanced to third on an error from the
Volcanoes. Chung came through with the
go-ahead RBI-single moments later, which
was followed by an RBI-double by Phillips,
putting the Campesinos up 6-4.
“I think it was us just trusting our
approaches and doing what we have to do
as a team to score runs,” Phillips said.
The Campesinos got two more insur-
ance runs on a sacrifi ce fl y by Runge and
an RBI-single from Morrison.
“We had a lot of barrels early, they were
just right at guys. But they stuck with it.
They stuck with their approach and they
stayed resilient,” Robertson said. They
don’t take any pitches off .”
