Aurora squad can’t get by red-hot York Seniors
-
Aurora Pinnacle Bank Senior Layton Hohm gave good effort in covering first base for the team during Friday’s matchup against York.
In a total heartbreaker the Aurora Pinnacle Bank Seniors are done with tournament play for the weekend after a 2-1 loss to York in the fourth round Monday afternoon.
The weekend started with an 11-0 loss to York Friday evening at Levitt Stadium.
“We ran into a really hot York team and they have played well the last couple weeks,” said Coach Jeremy Burgener. “Otto didn’t have a great outing, but offensively we didn’t give him any support either. The pitch we saw didn’t throw any off speed and we never really connect with his fastball.”
Friday action turned on the jets for the Aurora team, with a thrilling 16-0 win over St. Paul on Sunday. With only five innings played total, the team pocketed nine runs in the bottom of the second inning and another seven in the third.
“St. Paul was a huge bounce-back game and momentum grabber for us,” Burgener noted. “In that game our guys showed up to hit the fastball. Their pitcher struggled finding the plate, but when he did we were ready.”
