Game Summary:

It was finally a nice spring day with a game time temp in the low 70s as the Rams picked up their 3^rd win of the season. This time it was against LCAA league rival The Livonia Bulldogs. Once again, the Rams played at the Bath VA Field because the main field at the bus garage was still too wet. The Rams sent Eric Carney-Hendrix to the mound, and he worked into and out of trouble all night long. The Bulldogs threatened in the 2^nd, 3^rd, and 4^th, but Carney-Hendrix used his 10 strike out night to keep them from doing much damage. He only allowed the 1 run to score in the fifth, but it was unearned. Mason Davis was the big hero at the plate for the Rams finally breaking the scoring drought by hitting a two out, full count, line drive to left field pushing across two runs for the rams. After Livonia got one back in the top of the 5^th, the Rams again added 2 runs in both the 5^th and the 6^th. The Rams took a 6 to 1 lead into the top of the 7^th, and they once again turned to senior Owen Smith to come in and close things out. As darkness creeped in on the game, Owen struggled a little bit giving up a few seeing eye singles and the Bulldogs did not go quietly into the night. They managed to push across 2 runs in the top of the 7^th, but Smith was able to maintain his composure and shut the door giving the Rams their 3^rd win of the season and 2^nd win the LCAA league. It had been over a week since the Rams saw any game action because of the weather last week. The Rams hit the road tomorrow heading to Babcock Park over in Dansville for another LCAA matchup.
