The finale of this rivalry resumed at the Eagles nest on Thursday. Game 2 was initially scheduled for Tuesday at Lakes, but got pushed back to Wednesday at Antioch due to poor weather and poor field conditions. After a 4-2 Antioch victory in game 1, the Sequoits took game 2 9-5.
The Eagles jumped out to an early 5-1 lead, and chased Sequoit lefthander Brayden Cecchi after 2 innings. The Sequoits scored 3 runs in the 3rd to cut the Eagles lead to one thanks inpart to back-to-back RBI doubles by Anthony Sacchetti and T.J. Schuyler.
A 2-out RBI single by Brett Sullivan in the bottom of the 3rd, and a 6-run 4th inning which brought up 13 batters put the Eagles up to what appeared to be a comfortable 12-4 lead after 4 innings. All 7 runs came off reliever Quade Moll, who closed out game 1 for the Sequoits.
Over the final three innings, the Sequoits chipped away scoring 2 runs in the 5th, 3 runs in the 6th, and 2 runs in the 7th. The game ended on a pop up by Monday's hero Jake Eriksen to reliever William Hough.
Catcher T.J. Schuyler led the comeback attempt along with Jack Olsen. Olsen pinch-hit for Aiden Niemczyk in the 5th and went 2/2 with 2 doubles, including a 2-run double in the 6th. Schuyler went 3/4 with 2 RBI doubles and a sac fly. Shortstop Anthony Sacchetti went 2/3 with a double and 2 RBI and 2 walks.
Sophomore Owen Klosinski got the start on the mound for the Eagles and went 2.1 innings, gave up 4 runs on 3 hits, walked 2, and struckout 4. Klosinski would also go 3/4 at the plate with an RBI. Centerfielder Derek Lucier went 2/4 with 2 RBI, and first baseman Spencer Kennemann went 1/3 with a 2-run double and an RBI walk.
