Shenango Battles Through Back-and-Forth Contest in Myrtle Beach
In a neutral-site matchup at Grand Park in Myrtle Beach, Shenango battled through a back-and-forth contest against Westmoreland County Community College. While the offense matched the opponent hit-for-hit and showed discipline at the plate, a mid-game surge from the Wolfpack proved too much to overcome in an 8-4 final.
Game Summary:
The scoring opened in the first inning when Shenango jumped out to an early 2-0 lead, looking to set a dominant tone right from the first pitch. However, Westmoreland responded quickly, using a four-run second inning to leapfrog into the lead.
Shenango's offense found its rhythm again in the middle innings, continuously putting runners on base via six walks to keep the game within striking distance. Refusing to blink, the bats punched back in the top of the seventh. The late-inning surge saw two runs cross the plate as the lineup cashed in on the final scoring opportunity.
Despite the late momentum, the early deficit and a clean defensive performance from the opposition prevented the comeback from fully materializing before the final out.
