Legion earns win
Crawfordsville Post 72 has played a string of close games recently and it was no different on Tuesday. A run in each of the final two at-bats proved to be the difference giving the locals a 4-2 win over Clay City.
Four Post 72 pitchers handcuffed Clay City the entire game allowing just three hits.
Joseph Schroeder earned the win for the home team. The lefty allowed two hits and one run in three innings of work. Dylan Hoffa started on the mound surrendering one hit and one run in two innings. Landon Duncan pitched the sixth inning and Hoffa pitched the final inning to earn the save.
Jackson Warner and Jude Coursey each had two hits to lead Post 72. Aiden Ambriz-Cruz had two stolen bases including stealing home in the fifth inning to put his team ahead 3-2. Coursey and Riley Sands each had one RBI.
Post 72 played at Terre Haute on Wednesday and will be home at 7 p.m. Thursday against Rantoul, Illinois.
