The Princeton Tigers rode a strong pitching performance by Ean Compton to 2-0 win over the Panthers in Princeton on Tuesday.
Compton KO’d 12 Panther hitters while holding EP to just 4 hits.
The Tigers plated one run in the first after a lead off walk was followed by a single and a fielder’s choice. The Panthers loaded the bases in the 5th with one out but failed to score as Dawson Haggard and Kolby Franks both struck out.
EP loaded the bases again in the 6th inning with two outs but failed to score as Mason Misfeldt went down swinging.
The Tigers added a run in the 4th with a 2 out bunt single scoring a runner from third.
Jamie Miner took the loss in a quality outing giving up 4 hits, striking out 7 and walking 2 over 5 innings.
Coach Brad Tichler said, “Well played game by both teams. We had our chances in the 5th and 6th innings but we struck out both times with the bases loaded. Their two runs scored off lead off walks. It was the little things that cost us tonight.”
The 3-3 Panthers take on Riverdale in Clinton on Saturday.
