HADDONFIELD - The Roughriders fell behind 8-2 after just three innings, and despite a comeback bid, eventually lost to Bellmawr
by a score of 11-8. After Bellmawr tallied three more times in the fourth to make it 11-2, the Roughs answered with six runs in their half. Matt Williams had a
bases loaded RBI single to start things, and Mike McLaughlin capped the inning with a bases loaded, two-run double. But the Roughs would leave the bases loaded
that inning with the go-ahead run at the plate, and would not threaten the rest of the game. Alex Reinicker and Noah Clement shut down Bellmawr over the final four innings
to keep the team within striking distance.

in a three-run fourth inning and finished his night 3-3 (3 RBI, 2 SB). Ilves went three innings for the win (2 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 3 K), while Eric Elmer helped out
by closing out the contest (2 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 2 BB, 1 K). The game was delayed nearly 20 minutes due to rain in the top of third inning resulting in a five inning

Roughriders 8, Excel One 7
June 24, 2016
HADDONFIELD- The Roughriders jumped out to a 5-1 lead through five innings, and held on for an exciting 8-7 win over defending
champion Excel One on Friday night. Collin Fabio doubled home Drew Dark (leadoff walk) for a quick 1-0 in the top of the first. Three more runs in the third made
it 4-0, and after John Tedeschi's lead off triple in the fifth and Dark's subsequent sac fly, the Roughs had a commanding 5-1 lead. Luke Westfield provided another
quality start, pitching into the sixth inning (5.2 IP, 5 H, 5 R, 1 ER, 3 BB, 2 K) before exiting the game with the lead. But Excel would tally four unearned runs
in the sixth, all with two outs, to pull within 6-5. Two insurance runs in the seventh proved invaluable to the Roughs as Excel pushed across two runs in bottom half,
coming up just short in their comeback attempt. Brian Spicer earned the save, pitching out of a jam in the sixth and preserving the win the seventh
(1.1 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 2 BB). Fabio went 3-5 with two RBI and two doubles to lead the offense.
