The Tyrone Legion started their George B. Kelley Federation season on a losing note at Vets Field against Corporal Miller on Tuesday evening. The Tyrone entry played their opener, a 7-5 loss, with five guys in the lineup, who had not been to bat in from two to five years, as a result of regulars out of the lineup due to school activities.
\n\u201cThese kids played with heart and played hard to keep Tyrone Legion in the game,\u201d said first year Tyrone Legion manager Chris Futrick.
\nThe Tyrone bats never came alive until there were two outs in the top of the seventh inning. With just one more out to get, Tyrone Legion stretched Cpl. Miller nearly to the limit.
\nShane Walker came up to start the rally with a hard single to right field. Donnie Hunter followed with a base hit to left. Then it was Tyler Golden\u2019s turn and he plated both runners with a single to center. Eric Desch, the Tyrone Legion starting pitcher crew a base on balls, and a hot smash, which the Cpl. Miller third baseman couldn\u2019t handle drove in both Golden and Desch. Sims attempted to leg out a double on the hit and although Tyrone fans thought the tag was high, was called out for the final out of the ballgame.
\nFutrick and assistant coaches Don Hunter and Ron Iddings all said that they were proud of the way the kids played, with only a couple of practices and five people that didn\u2019t have any.
\n\u201cWhen we have all our kids here, we will be a good team,\u201d said Futrick. \u201cWe made some errors and it cost us the game.\u201d
\nDesch took the loss for Tyrone Legion, but was hurt by his defense. Desch struck out four and walked four.
\nDonnie Hunter and Tyler Golden each had two hits for Tyrone Legion, with Hunter getting a double for the team\u2019s only extra-base knock.
\nChris Carper led Corporal Miller (1-2) with three hits and two RBI
