Wiley helps Secure Series Opening Win Over Bethel out of the Bullpen

MCKENZIE, Tenn.--Quinlin Wiley threw five scoreless innings out of the bullpen to secure the series opening win over Bethel, 8-1.

The Wildcats jumped on Phoenix starter Ethan Torres in the bottom of the first. Jared Hall led off with a single. Bethel moved him over with a bunt and Juan Diego Ramos singled him home for a 1-0 lead. 

Cumberland took advantage of four walks from Luke Boswell in the third inning. After Trenton Duchsherer walked, Ian Krump reached on a fielder's choice as courtesy runner Ty Martin was erased. Brandon Boxer singled and Javier Beal drew a free pass. Tim Holyk hit a chopper at the plate and Wildcats catcher Ivan Vega tried to field it and tag Krump coming home, but a great slide scored the first run for Cumberland. Dee Triplett and Preston Welchel followed with two walks to plate two more and give CU a 3-1 lead. 

Bethel chased Torres in fifth after the first two batters reached. The Phoenix turned to Quinton Wiley and he got the Phoenix out of the jam with a fielder's choice and two strikeouts. 

The Phoenix loaded the bases on a single from Triplett and two walks in the top of the seventh. With two outs, Riley Light beat out an infield single while the Wildcats threw it away twice on the play to clear the bases for a 6-1 lead. 

In the bottom of the seventh, the Wildcats were threatening again after a one-out double to put runners on second and third. Wiley got the next batter to hit a fly ball to right field and Preston Welchel hosed the runner at the plate tagging from third to keep Bethel off the scoreboard and hold the score at 6-1. 

The Phoenix used that momentum to tack on some more runs in the next half inning. Tim Holyk hit a sacrifice fly to center to score Krump. Boxer came across to score on a wild pitch to give CU a 8-1 lead. 

Wiley did the rest, shutting down the Wildcats offense to finish the game and get the win on the mound. Wiley tossed five scoreless innings of relief work striking out eight batters and allowing just two hits. 

Javy Beal was on base five times going 2-2 with two singles and three walks and scoring two runs. Bradon Boxer went 2-5 with two singles and also scored two runs. 

The Phoenix and Wildcats will play game two and game three tomorrow at Wildcat Park. The games will start at noon with Randy Sallis and Chris Slaughter at the ballpark calling the games on WANT FM 98.9.
