7/17/2022

The Hornell Steamers used the combination of solid pitching and timely hitting in a 6-1 weather shortened game at Dansville on Sunday. The Steamers improve to 21-16 on the year with five regular season games remaining.

 

Hornell batted around in the 2nd as they took a 4-0 lead. Peyton Johnson (Indiana U of PA) collected a RBI single, Max Schmarder (Tusculum) hit a sac fly, Torrey Roper (Indiana U of PA) doubled home a run, and Connor Kiefer (Monroe CC) hit a RBI ground out.

 

In the 4th, Kiefer hit a two run homer off the building in left field to add to the lead.

 

Joe Dolansky (Indiana U of PA) kept the Gliders off balance as he earned his fourth victory of the summer. Dolansky didn't allow a hit until the 6th. He finished the game throwing 5.2 innings of two hit ball. He allowed a run in the 6th before the teams were taken off the field because of lightning. He didn't walk a batter and struck out five.

 

Johnson and Roper were each 2 for 3 with a RBI while Colton Burd (Indiana U of PA) was 2 for 3. Kiefer was 1 for 4 with 3 RBI.

 

Hornell is slated to take on Olean tomorrow at 7 p.m.
