First win

FORT RECOVERY — After dropping the first three games of the summer, the Fort Recovery ACME baseball team dominated the Russia Raiders for an 11-1 victory on Monday.

Jacob Foote controlled the game for the Indians (1-3) on the mound by holding Russia scoreless the first three innings to develop a three-run lead to secure the win. He gave up one unearned run in the fourth on a pair of errors by the infield.

Luke Fortkamp took over for Foote, throwing one inning before Fort Recovery exploded for seven runs in the fifth. Runs scored on a single by Reece Wendel, a walk by Caden Grisez, a double by Mason Diller, an error, and a single by Foote that ended the game early.

Diller put together the best day at the plate with a pair of doubles that drove in four runs. He scored both times he reached base.
