ORLANDO, Fla. — The Bryant & Stratton College (WI) baseball team began a new campaign on Sunday. The Bobcats finished 23- 25 last season and suffered a heartbreaking loss to the Black Hawk Braves in the Region 4 tournament last season.
Game 1| Bryant & Stratton 2, Kalamazoo Valley Community College 5
Carter Szohr started on the mound for the Bobcats and he made it through the first inning without giving up any runs.
Anthony Sacchetti plated the first runs of the season with a two-run home run in the top of the first.
Those would be all the runs the Bobcats would muster and the Cougars took advantage of that by scoring five runs in the bottom of the fourth. The score would remain unchanged until the final out of the game.
Szohr took the loss, but Josh Opiola and Austin Sigrist were able to get some time on the mound and both combined for three strikeouts.
Sacchetti finished 2-for-3.
Game 2 | Bryant & Stratton 2, Kalamazoo Valley Community College 6
Sophomore Zach Rechner started the second game for the Bobcats and he worked two clean innings to begin the game. Bryant & Stratton opened the scoring in the bottom of the second thanks to a single by Easton Snow. He brought home Ryan Weed who reached on a single.
Tyler Clark, who led the Bobcats with two hits, brought in Sean Reilly who also singled.
Kalamazoo Valley flipped the game on its head in the top of the third, scoring five runs on three hits to take a 5-2 lead.
Rechner finished with 2⅔ innings pitched, surrendered two hits, struck out three and walked four.
The Cougars added one more in the top of the fifth inning and they would hold off the Bobcats.
Rechner took his first loss of the season and Bryant & Stratton started the season 0-2.
Up next: It will take on Owens Community College on March 3.
