No. 4 Patriots Sweep Phoenix in Williamsburg

WILLIAMSBURG, Ky.--The Patriots dominated game two with a 14-0 shutout and followed that with a 14-9 win game three to sweep the conference series. 

Cumberland (21-24, 4-11 MSC) struggled to get the bats going in the first game and couldn't hold off the Patriots enough in the second. 

Game one was all Patriots as they were dominant in every aspect of the game. Cesar Avila dominated on the mound, throwing a complete game one-hitter. Avila struck out 10 Phoenix in the game. 

Just two batters into the game for the Cumberlands they took a 2-0 lead on a two-run homer from Charlie Muniz. They added another run in the first on a Ben Snapp double for a 3-0 lead. 

The Patriots tacked on four more runs in the second on a grand slam from Johnny Rittenhouse to extend the lead to 7-0 through two. 

Caden Petrey hit a two-run homer in the third and then in the fifth Petrey bopped another homer for a 10-0 lead. A couple batters later, Muniz hit his second home run of the game and fourth of the series for an 11-0 lead. 

The Patriots added three runs in the sixth to get a 14-0 win in game one. With the win, the Patriots won the Mid-South Conference Regular Season Championship. 

In game two, the Phoenix had a better start in three batters than they put together in game one. Javy Beal hit a triple and Tim Holyk followed with a two-run bomb to center for a quick 2-0 lead. 

In the bottom of the second, the Patriots got going. Starter Alex Smith issued two walks to start the inning and then a single to the pitcher loaded to the bases. An error scored their first of the game and Petrey remained hot, hitting a grand slam for a 5-2 lead, his third homer of the day. The Cumberlands were not done there as they pushed across one more run on an error on an errant pickoff throw for a 6-2 lead through two. 

The Phoenix immediately answered in the third. Stoney Smith got the start in centerfield and led off the inning with a single. Brandon Boxer followed with one of his own and Javy Beal walked to load the bases with no outs. A wild pitch brought in Smith. After two outs, Preston Welchel hit a two-RBI single to right to cut the deficit to 6-5. 

The Cumberlands pushed across two more in the the bottom half manufacturing the first run. The second run came in on a bases loaded walk before the Phoenix got out of the jam down 8-5. 

Seth Sweet-Chick hit a solo bomb in the fourth to get it within two where the score stood at 8-6 until the sixth as Thomas Wilhite worked a pair of clean innings in the fourth and fifth. 

In the sixth, Rittenhouse doubled and came in to score on a RBI-single from Ben Snapp. Two batters later, Petrey jacked his fourth home run of the day to extend the Pats lead to 11-6. 

In the seventh, Riley Light bopped a two-run homer to get back within striking distance down 11-8, but back-to-back doubles and RBI single in the bottom half played two more for the Cumberlands for a 13-8 lead. 

In the eighth, Petrey again bopped another home run, his third of the game and fifth on the day for a 14-8 lead going into the ninth. 

Cumberland threatened in the ninth as they pushed across a run with the bases loaded. Leading 14-9, Cumberlands turned to their closer Chipper Korbacher and he induced a game-ending double play for the 14-9 final score. 

The Phoenix are back at home on Tuesday as they play host to No. 8 Reinhardt.
