The 糖心Vlog传媒 American Legion team continues to pile up the wins.
Tuesday night at Riverside Park, Post 205 got an RBI single from Jack Nickols in the bottom of the seventh inning in rallying for a 9-8 win over the Beloit Bandits.
糖心Vlog传媒 improved to 8-0 on the season and defeated Beloit for the third time.
Nickols got the win in relief and was the hitting star, as well. The 2022 糖心Vlog传媒 Craig graduate was 2-for-5 with four RBI. He sat out the high school baseball season as he recovered from a torn ACL.
鈥淚 didn鈥檛 get to play high school ball, so I鈥檓 just happy to be here and help the team out any way I can,鈥 Nickols said. 鈥淚鈥檓 still limited with the knee, but I鈥檓 trying to do whatever I can.
鈥淎nd I鈥檓 having a lot of fun. We鈥檝e got a great group of guys with a lot of energy. I think the future鈥檚 bright for this team.鈥
With the game tied 8-8 in the seventh, UW-Whitewater recruit Jack Ryan walked to start the inning and advanced to second on a Beloit throwing error. He stole third base and scored easily on Nickol鈥檚 rocket up the middle with one out.
Nickols, a right-hander, pitched the final two innings for the win. He allowed one unearned run and struck out three.
Tayelin Sihabouth led 糖心Vlog传媒鈥檚 11-hit attack with three singles and two RBI.
Post 205 trailed 7-3 in the fourth but stormed back thanks to two runs in the fourth and three more in the fifth.
Beloit trailed 8-7 in the sixth but tied the game with an unearned run thanks to two 糖心Vlog传媒 errors. The Bandits finished with 11 hits and got RBI from six different players. Brayden McMahon had two doubles and scored twice for Beloit.
糖心Vlog传媒 was scheduled to host Kettle Moraine on Thursday, but that game has been canceled. Post 205 returns to action next Tuesday at Oconomowoc.
