Bellwood-Antis hasn\u2019t been doing that well during the 2005 baseball season. The Blue Devils took their lumps last year, but finished near .500 and returned their entire pitching staff, which presented a lot of potential to head coach Steve Conlon.
\nThat potential, for one reason or another has not exactly come through for Bellwood-Antis on the diamond. At least not very often before Friday afternoon.
\nFirst, the Blue Devils took an 11-2 Everett Warriors squad to the limit before Everett took advantage of two errors and a two-run double by Adam Miller to pull out a 7-3 win in nine innings. In a game that began last Friday, but was halted in the bottom of the third inning, with Everett up 3-2, Bellwood-Antis played perhaps their best game of the year over the final six innings when the game was restarted.
\nTyler McClellan sparked the Blue Devils by tossing five scoreless, one-hit innings, before running out of steam and being the victim of his own teammates mistakes in the field.
\nIn the regularly scheduled game, the Blue Devils took out their season-long frustration, by sending 19 batters to the plate in the bottom of the first inning, pounding out 10 hits and scoring 15 times to pummel winless Williamsburg 15-0 in three innings..
\nFred Dorman doubled everybody home with a bases-loaded double to get things started and Josh Kleinfelter drilled a three-run home run later in the inning.
\nAndy Brisbin walked and singled, Kleinfelter homered and walked, Dorman singled and doubled, Troy Brunner walked and doubled, winning pitcher Chris Alley walked and doubled, Kyle Drost singled twice and L. J. Seidel singled and was hit by a pitch. Earnie Kelley singled home a run to complete the inning.
\nAlley shut out the Blue Pirates on just two hits, with five strikeouts and didn\u2019t walk a batter to pick up the victory for the Blue Devils.
\nThe pitching performances by McClellan and Alley went a long way toward helping the Blue Devils mound corps, who have been ravaged often this season, often due to their own control problems and their teammates mistakes, both mental and physical.
\n\u201cWe started out good today with a solid pitching performance by Tyler McClellan. It was a shame that we couldn\u2019t get any runs across for him to win the game,\u201d said Bellwood-Antis head coach Steve Conlon. \u201cWe had a few opportunities to win the game where we just couldn\u2019t get the one clutch hit we needed. But the kids did a good job in keeping focused and coming back against Williamsburg and getting a win.\u201d
