Ironmen stay hot, win another before break


The Lorain County Ironmen came from behind on Sunday afternoon in Pennsylvania for a 6-5 victory over the Butler Blue Sox. The win is their sixth in their last seven games. The win also moves the Ironmen to one game under .500 heading into the mid season break.

Down 5-4, the Ironmen struck with two outs in the top of the ninth inning. Matt McAllester was hit-by-pitch with one out, then stole second base on the next pitch. After a fly out for the second out, Billy Urban drew a walk before Austin Ingraham lined the second pitch he saw into right field, scoring McAllester to tie the score at five. Nick Hamilton followed with the game-winning RBI single, scoring Urban to give the Ironmen the lead.

Phil Brua finished the Blue Sox off in the bottom of the ninth inning for his fourth win of the season. Brua pitched two innings to earn the win.

The Ironmen scored two runs in the top of the fourth inning on a Nate Antone two-run single, scoring Tony Brunetti, who singled, and Stephen Hagen, who walked.

Lorain County added two more runs in the fifth inning, led by Brunetti and Ingraham. With one out, Evan Melendez walked and McAllester singled before Brunetti delivered his second of three hits on the day to drive in Melendez. Two batters latter, Ingraham singled home McAllester to push the lead out to 4-1.

The Ironmen are off for the All-Star break until Thursday night when they travel to Dupage to battle the Dragons at 8 p.m.

The Ironmen will also be represented by Brua, Ingraham, Urban and McAllester on Tuesday at 8 p.m. at the All-Star game. You can listen to the game through the Prospect League website.
