The South Oakland Ducks of the North Side (1-1) defeated the Bakery Square Bandidos (0.5-1) by a score of 6-4 last night in Spring Hill. Bakery Square opened the scoring when their new guy hit one to the fence and their other new guy singled him in, breaking a scoreless tie. There were some walks, and the Ducks trailed 3-0 going into the bottom of the fourth.

South Oakland scored four in the fourth. Muslin walked, Casale doubled, Pulice, Clark, and Fago singled. Colton Fago was hit by a pitch and Gwin drove in a run on a ground out.

Cody Quinn struck out the side in the fifth, and the Ducks added two more in the bottom of the inning when Brandt was hit by a pitch, Zuzak doubled, and Casale hit a sac fly. Zuzak scored on Pulice’s second hit of the night. I might be missing something in there, but that was basically what happened.

Tom picked a guy off first in the seventh then new guy grounded out to end the game. Fago recorded the save for the Ducks, capping off a strong night for the bullpen.

• Eight of the first nine outs Ducks starter, Randy Patton (W, 1-0) recorded in the game were either strikeouts or groundouts to the pitcher.
• The bullpen allowed one run on one hit over the last three innings
• James Fago had two hits and recorded his first save in six years for the Ducks
• Mike Brandt and Colton Fago were hit by pitches, and are tied for the team lead with one (1)
• We might have got a couple calls in the field, but it was a pretty evenly played game. We had the ump with the AL East strike zone.
• Only one error after committing seven in our first game
• This was a quality win over a good team
• South Oakland takes game one of the Columbus tournament inter-squad challenge

South Oakland plays next vs D2 on Sunday, 8:30pm at Herschel Park.

Quack.
