The Jersey Pilots split their doubleheader against the Trenton
Generals at Snyder Ave Park on Sunday July 10.
The Pilots also held their food drive during the game as players
and fans brought non-perishable food items to the field that will be donated to
Red Bank Lunch Break.
In game one of the doubleheader, the Pilots won on a John Scarr
walk-off home run in the bottom of the eighth.
With two outs in the inning, Scarr ripped the first pitch he saw
over the right field wall to give the Pilots the 8-7 victory.
The Pilots previously tied the game by scoring three runs in the
sixth inning. With the bases loaded, Tom Marcinczyk singled, Malcolm Kelsey was
hit by a pitch, and Scarr walked. Each at-bat resulted in one run crossing the
plate.
The Generals biggest lead was 5-2 after the top of the second
and then later on had a 7-4 lead that was erased in the previously mentioned
sixth inning.
Scarr finished the game 2-4 with 3 RBIs and a walk. Kelsey had
two hits, two runs and two RBIs. Justin Trochiano had two hits.
Ethan Frohman was great out of the pen for the Pilots. He went
4.2 innings, giving up only two hits, struck out six batters, and received the win.
In game two of the doubleheader, the Pilots fell behind early
and could not muster any offense. The Generals scored three runs in the first,
five runs in the second, and three runs in the third, while the Pilots could
not score a run.
On the bright side, the Pilots had a good showing from their
bullpen. Mike Gibbons went three innings out of the bullpen, walking only two
batters and striking out six batters.
The Pilots next home game is on Wednesday, July 13 against the
Staten Island Tide. First pitch is set 6:30 at Snyder Ave. Next Sunday, the
Pilots will play a doubleheader against Quakertown at Bainton Field at Rutgers
University, where the team will also hold a clothing drive for Goodwill.
