Pirates split with Colton

POMEROY–The Pirates rallied with four runs in the sixth for a 6-3 win then fell 5-3 against Colton April 10.

“We played a solid baseball game one,” said Coach Kyler Lovgren. “Defensively I think we made some progress; Gunner Magill really came through at shortstop.

“Offensively, Ollie Severs was on at the plate. He went 4 for 4 and really got in a groove hitting. He was not just hitting the ball, he was hitting it hard.

Brodie Magill and Trevin Kimble were also solid at the plate, Lovgren said.

Trevin Kimble threw a good game for six innings, Lovgren said, and Trace Roberts came in closed it neatly.

In the nightcap, Lovgren said both teams played well. “We left a runner on third base 10 out of 14 innings today,” he said. “We just need to get a few more hits deeper in the batting order, a few missed opportunities are the differences in many of our loses this season.”

Kimble and Severs were “great at the plate,” and Roberts and Magill pitched well, he said.
