| Roughriders 5, Camden 3 (6 innings) | July 25, 2017 Game 2 - Qtr Finals |
| CAMDEN – The Roughriders fell behind 3-0 after the first inning, but scored five unanswered runs to defeat Camden 5-3 and sweep their Quarter Final playoff series. The comeback began in the second inning when Tom Daly singled and Tyler Easterday doubled. Noah Clement (2-2, RS, RBI, BB) then delivered an RBI single to score Daly to make it 3-1. Kevin Lammers fielder’s choice RBI with one out scored Easterday to narrow the gap to 3-2. Mike Byrnes’ RBI single would score Clement in the third to tie the game and the Roughs pushed across an unearned run in the fifth to take the lead. Byrnes led off the sixth with a double and eventually scored on an errant pickoff attempt from the catcher at third base to make it 5-3. Starter Drew Dark shook off the rocky first inning to shutout Camden the rest of the way (6 IP, 6 H, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K). Byrnes finished 2-3 with a double, RBI and run scored. With the series win, the Roughriders face the two seed from the regular season, Cherry Hill, in the Semi Finals beginning next Monday. | |
