Jack Abell lost their first game of the season on Wednesday night to JR's of Frostburg by a score of 6-4. Frostburg capitalized on some 2 out magic in the third inning to score all 6 of their runs.
Abell broke out on top with a run in the first as Colton Sivic reached first on an error, advanced to second, stole third and came home on a wild pitch. Abell scored two more in the third as Sivic and Jack Hawkins both singled and scored; a long RBI flyout by Dylan Shockey drove in the third run of the game for Abell.
But JR's went on top in the bottom of the third. The bases were loaded after a couple of walks and hit batsmen with one out. A ground ball back to the pitcher allowed Abell to get a force out at home for the second out. But a two out see eye grounder up the middle scored two runs to make it 3-2. After a walk to load the bases, another two out single that would have scored two was misplayed (two different errors on the play) allowed four runs to score and put JR's up 6-3. Abell manufactured a run in the fifth to cut the lead to 6-4, but could not rally for needed runs.
Abell had several long fly balls that were tracked nicely by JR's center fielder to minimize the number of potential base runners. Abell plays again Friday night.
