CLINTON- By succesfully avoiding that one big inning - unlike in years past - Helmuth-Ingalls had been able to jump out to a 6-3 record and second place in the Blue Division. On Wednesday, first-place Smith came to town and put up two big innings late in the game to turn a 4-3 H-I lead into an 11-4 Smith victory.
With the bases loaded and one out in the 5th, after Smith had knotted the score a 4-4, Tyler White induced what appeared to be an inning-ending double play bouncer. However, the final bounce before reaching secondbaseman Cory Gogola hopped clear over Gogola’s head and two runs scored. Smith would tack on 3 more runs in the inning, and then put the game out of reach in the top of the seventh with 3 runs on 3 hits and 2 H-I errors.
It was an uncharacteristically sloppy defensive game for H-I, with six errors contributing to Smith’s success. White took the loss in 4 1/3 innings, allowing 8 runs - 3 earned - on 8 hits. Cory Gogola relieved for the final 2 2/3 innings, allowing 3 runs - 1 earned - on 3 hits.
Tyler Heck had 3 hits to lead H-I, and Lee Foxton and Chris Hughes had two hits apiece. Hughes also contributed two RBI.
The loss drops H-I to 6-4 overall. They hit the road on Thursday to face defending state champions, the Anaconda Indians, in Scotia in a non-league affair before returning to league action on Monday at Roberts.
