In
the twinbill of the Indians doubleheader against
the East LA Dodgers, the Tribe tagged Dodgers
starter Tom Korn for 13 runs.
The
onslaught began early in the first with first
basemen Josh Meagher connecting on a grand slam
to right field. In the second the Indians added
4 more runs, two on an RBI double down the right
field line by Tyrese McDaniel. Meagher came up
with two on and hit a double down the right field
line in the same spot as McDaniel's, giving him
6 RBI on the night.
In
the third inning, with the Dodgers trailing 8-2
the game got very sloppy with the pitcher Korn
and catcher combining for passed balls and wild
pitches. The Indians extended their lead to 11-2
on 3 runs in the third with no hits.
Diego
Soto picked up the win going 3 innings giving
up 2 runs. Micah Spencer relieved him with 2 scoreless
innings and the Cochise College duo of Cody Walden
and Brendan McDonald finished off the last five
innings giving up 5 runs combines.
The
Indians Will Campbell connected for his second
home run of the night, a 2-run blast to left field.
Shortstop Rafael Valenzuela finished 2-4 with
2 runs and 2 RBI for the Indians in their 15-7
victory.
