Bombs Away! Neveker, Cougars Take A Pair from Trojans

Game 1 #9 FCC 2, ACM 1

#9 FCC took the lead late and defeated Allegany College of Maryland 2-1 on Tuesday in a crucial Region 20 D2 matchup. The game was tied at one with the Cougars batting in the top of the sixth when Austin Massey singled on a 0-2 count, scoring one run. The pitching was strong on both sides as Daniel Leo struck out seven, picking up the win. He went seven innings, allowing one run on five hits, and didn't allow a free pass. Leo was pounding the strike zone all game long, improving to 2-0 on the season.

Justin Acal went 2-for-3 at the plate to lead the Cougar offense in hits.

Game 2 #9 FCC 8, ACM 4

What a game for Brodey Neveker. The FCC cleanup hitter did just that...he knocked out a pair of homers to lead the FCC offense. That was dinger #1 & #2 on the year for the big guy! He was a perfect 3-for-3 (2B, 2 HRs) at the dish, tallying four RBIs in the win. Justin Acal continues to tear the cover off the baseball as he went 2-for-2 with a single and a double. He scored two runs and recorded 1 RBI. For the season, Acal is now hitting .487 and has a hit in 11 out of the 13 games. That is getting it done!

The combo of Jared Hurlburt and Adam Watkins took care of business on the hill for FCC. Watkins registered the final nine outs of the game to pick up his second win of the season.
