The offense got going early in the first as Matthew Graham’s infield hit scored a run. Followed by a two run single by Ethan Brown to extend the lead to 3-0. Smith would help himself out by knocking in a run in the second inning. Shortly after, Henry Davenport had an RBI single which plated a run as another run scored on an error, making the game 6-0. Pitching with a comfortable lead, Smith was able to work through the Colonel’s lineup completing his shutout with a strikeout in the seventh inning.
