along with two runs scored. Rosato and
Tim Hunt (Hillsboro/Whiteoak) batted
three-for-four each as Ledford and Brent

two runs apiece. Ledford had a team high
three RBI's as Martin, Rosato and Neff
each knocked in two on the game. Derrick

6.2 innings, allowing just five hits and
two earned runs while striking out seven
in picking up his fourth win of the year.
In the afternoon finale,

as they scored three runs in the bottom
of the first inning. The runs came from
an Aaron Lawson (Hebron/Lakewood)
sacrifice fly, a Rosato single and a Jess
Shepherd (Lexington, KY/Lexington Catholic)
single. In the second inning, the Quakers
scored another three runs with a Justin
Evans single that scored one and another
on an overthrow on the same play the team's
second run came across the plate to go
along with Lawson's second sacrifice fly
of the game. Capital would cut the Green
and White lead to five in the top of the
fourth inning with a run before the Quakers
put their final runs on the board with
a three-spot in the fourth inning. Capital
closed ground in their half of the seventh
inning, but the three runs that the visitors
from Bexley mustered was not enough as
the Green and White came away with a 9-4
victory.
Evans continued his hot
hitting on the day, going three-for-four
with an RBI and a pair of runs scored.
Martin hit three-for-four with three runs
scored as Hunt batted a perfect two-for-two.
