Starfires drop final two games (06/02/03)
Local Roundup
Despite huge offensive efforts from several players in game two Saturday, South Adams lost both ends of a double-header to Mississinewa in its regular-season finale, 10-4 and 12-11.
After allowing six runs in the fifth and sixth innings combined to lose the first game, South Adams found its offense in the second game.
Jeremiah Kaeser came alive, going a perfect 5-for-5 in the second game. He hit a home run, scored three times and had a couple of RBIs.
Kyle White, also the leading hitter in game one, went 2-for-3 with a double, two runs and two RBIs. He was followed by Zane Martens, who hit a three-run home run, and Justin Haines, who finished with two hits and two runs.
Still, all of the offensive production was not enough after the Starfires fell behind 9-6 after two innings.
They battled back, but did not have enough to finish the rally.
Aaron Givens took the loss in relief of Kyle Neuenschwander. Givens allowed two runs — one earned — in five innings of work.
White went 2-for-3 at the plate with a home run in the game one. Lance Balsiger had one hit, one run and one RBI.
Tyler Sprunger took the loss, allowing eight runs — six earned — in seven innings. He struck out two and walked two.
South Adams will play host Garrett in sectional semifinal action Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
