ENDWELL – A day removed from the Junior Hellcat program’s second win of the season over the Junior Legion team from M-E, the senior squad flipped the script for a Maine-Endwell 6-2 win over the Chenango Hellcats.
This game, saw the Hellcats struggle on the road – in the form of a four-error game – on Thursday, June 22.
Despite the errors on the defense, the Hellcat pitchers would enjoy six solid innings on the mound. Dylan Depew would be credited with the loss for the Hellcats, striking out five M-E batters and walking just one. Even with the four errors and nine hits surrendered, Depew and his defense allowed only four runs to score – all earned – in the five innings he pitched.
The Hellcats would have to deploy Seth Simmons in relief of Depew – a move that would unfortunately see the slip in defense, as two unearned would come in for scores in the bottom of the sixth inning.
Despite being down 2-0 entering the top of the fourth inning, the Hellcats battled to a tie in the fourth – as Tommy Voce smacked a double to score Depew, only to have Mikey Graven-Briggs snag a single to score Voce, later in the inning.
With the score tied at 2-2, the Hellcats were looking to pounce.
