PITCHING AND DEFENSE LEAD TO SWEEP OF AIRPORT....

For the 1st time in recent memory Huron swept the season series 2-0 from Airport. The Chiefs played their best defensive game of the year making critical plays when needed . Dayton Miller started and went 5 innings striking out 7 and allowing only 2 runs and did not factor in the decision. Brad Hughes came in did not allow a hit for 2 innings to pick up the win. The Chiefs got on the board in the 1st inning with a Noah Banas walk he preceded to steal second base moved to third base on a Hughes fly ball and the Miller doubled him home for the 1-0 lead. With 2 outs Nick Suemnick hit rocket to right and Miller was thrown out at the plate on a great throw. In the bottom of the forth Suemnick was hit by a pitch the an infield single by Brody Curly put runners on 1st and 2nd for Tyler Logdon. Logsdon laid down a sacrifice bunt that turned into an infield single that scored Suemnick on an error by the Jets. Huron could have tacked on f few more but back to back strike outs slowed the rally and a line driver to 2nd base ended the inning. Airport tied the score at 2 with 2 runs in the top of the 5th innning but in the bottom of the 6th inning the Chiefs pushed across the winning run. Curly reached on an error and was replaced with a pinch runner who stole second base but then was picked off for the 1st out . Logsdon walked on a 3-2 pitch and Shawn Folkwein also walked after a Banas fly to center Hughes singled to score Logsdon with the go ahead run. Huron improved to 9-5 on the season and still undefeated in the Huron league
