Daredevils falls 7-2 to Tidewater Drillers

Dylan Harvey did all he could to give Daredevils a boost, but it wasn’t enough to get past Tidewater Drillers, as Daredevils lost 7-2 at First Flight Baseball Complex on Friday.

Harvey did his best to jumpstart the offense for Daredevils, reaching base two times.

Collin Ballard got it done on the hill on the way to a win. He allowed one run over five innings. Ballard struck out one, walked four and gave up one hit.

Tidewater Drillers was sparked by Turner Bishop and Kurt Sinnen, who teamed up for four hits and three RBIs.

Kyle Spruill took the loss for Daredevils. He allowed six runs in seven innings, walked two and struck out four.

Tidewater Drillers didn’t relinquish the lead after scoring one run in the fourth inning when it scored on an RBI single by Kyle Butler.

Tidewater Drillers increased its lead with two runs in the sixth. A error scored Sinnen to start the scoring in the inning.

One run in the bottom of the sixth helped Daredevils close its deficit to 3-1. A steal of home by Harvey gave Daredevils life. Ryan Galvin ended the inning by getting Chris Childress to ground out.

After pushing across one run in the bottom of the seventh, Daredevils faced just a 6-2 deficit. A sacrifice fly by Devin Daniels triggered Daredevils’ comeback. Finally, Gabriel Santana got Brad Keen to ground out to end the threat.
