Wingnuts shut out Lemurs for 10th win in 11 games
Scott Richmond and three relievers combined on a seven-hit shutout, leading the Wingnuts to a 2-0 win over the Lemurs on Friday night in Laredo, Texas.
Richmond went six innings and allowed five hits and a walk. Daniel Bennett, Frankie Reed and Dakota Watts each threw a scoreless inning of relief as the Wingnuts won for the 10th time in 11 games.
Back-to-back doubles by David Espinosa and T.J. Mittelstaedt put the Wingnuts ahead 1-0 in the top of the first. The game’s only other run came in the fifth when Leo Vargas reached on a fielder’s choice, stole second base, went to third on a wild pitch and scored on a passed ball.
