Martin Oil won the batter of oil sponsors on Saturday with a 5-1 decision over Barkman Oil at Bellwood\u2019s Stadium Drive field.
\nThis ballgame was a 5 p.m. start in what was supposed to be the second game of a double header for Martin Oil. The first game was to be against Locker Room at Hollidaysburg, but a wet field postponed that one.
\nZach Stere gave Martin Oil a quick lead by belting a two-out first-inning home run over the centerfield fence.
\nChris Alley drove in what proved to be the winning runs in the second, singling in Nate Carlson and Cory Daly with two outs, for a 3-0 lead. Carlson reached on a walk to lead off the frame and Daly singled off the third base bag. Each stole a base to get into scoring position.
\nIn the fourth, Damion Miller opened the inning by beating out an infield hit and stole second base. After Daly walked, Alley bunted both runners up a base. With Dan Houser batting, Miller came home from third on a wild pitch with Daly moving to third. Houser walked and Martin Oil attempted a double steal. Houser was thrown out at second, but Daly scored on the play to give Martin Oil a 5-1 lead.
\nDaly pitched four scoreless innings to pick up the win for Martin Oil, allowing two hits, striking out one and walking two. Houser tossed the final three innings in relief allowing Barkman\u2019s one run on three hits, striking out two and walking two.
\n\u201cThe key for us this summer is going to be contributions on the mound from a lot of different players,\u201d said Martin Oil manager Ed Davis. \u201cI was hoping to get a couple innings out of Cory Daly today and he threw four real beautiful innings and then Danny Houser came in and finished off with three nice innings. I just couldn\u2019t ask for more from those two. Fortunately our defense was great again tonight. When you get the pitching and defense, it sort of compensates for the hitting. We have good hitters, the bats will come.\u201d
\nOn Sunday, Martin Oil played a doubleheader against Dick\u2019s Pharmacy at Bellwood winning the first game 12-3 and getting a clutch two-out seventh-inning single by Dan Graham to take the nightcap 5-4.
\nMartin Oil fell behind 4-1 in the second game before cutting into Dick\u2019s lead with two tallies in the third. Shawn Weiand and Nate Carlson ripped back-to-back doubles to score the first run of the inning and Damion Miller singled in Carlson with one out.
\nWeiand scored Andy Brisbin with a sac fly in the fourth to tie the game. Brisbin had singled with one out, moved to second on a single by Zach Stere and advanced to third on a wild pitch.
\nCarlson picked up the victory in game two by tossing four hitless innings of relief, striking out six and walking one. Dan Graham pitched the first three innings, giving up four runs, although none were earned, on three hits, with two Ks and no walks.
\nJosh Mulhollem had two hits and an RBI to lead Dick\u2019s. Todd Monahan took the loss in relief, going three innings and yielding one run on four hits, with two strikeouts and one walk.
\nIn the first game of the day, Jeremy Horton opened the game by taking Martin Oil starter Derrick Miller yard for a quick 1-0 lead. Horton also rapped a pair of doubles to lead Dick\u2019s on offense.
\nDick\u2019s scored twice in the first and added two more in the second, but then was blanked by Miller, Chris Alley and Zach Stere for the remainder of the contest.
\nAlley pitched the middle three innings to pick up the win, scattering three hits with one strikeout and one walk. Stere pitched a 1-2-3 seventh inning to complete the 12-3 win.
\nDan Houser was the hitting leader for Martin Oil with a double and two singles and four runs scored. Stere added a single and double and three RBIs and was twice hit by a pitch to reach base four times, and Cory Daly had two hits and one RBI.
\nMartin Oil Notes: Martin Oil stole eight bases in each game for a total of 16 on the day, with just one runner thrown out….In their first four games Martin Oil has used a total of seven different pitchers….Dan Graham played five different positions in the doubleheader-pitcher, first base, second base, third base and left fielder….Martin Oil stranded 12 men in Game Two, including nine in scoring position….Martin Oil relievers pitched eight consecutive innings of scoreless ball in the doubleheader.
