Cicero North 1 - Baldwinsville 0

Central NY last night produced one of the better pitching matchups of the early 2015 season. The newly ranked Baldwinsville Bees (No. 19) ran Cody Kaestle, RHP, 2016 out to the mound to square off against Steven Theetge, LHP, 2015 (Bryant) in what shaped up to be a masterful pitching display.

Theetge shows why in baseball good pitching beats good hitting every time. He threw a complete game, 86 pitch shut-out, which saw 62 of his 86 pitches as strikes (72% strikes) an impressive percentage and recipe for success. He allowed only one hit, one walk, while striking out 11 Bee’s. His counterpart, Kaestle, would do his best to duplicate Theetge’s performance going six strong innings, 64 total pitches (44 strikes), two hits, one walk, one run, and two strike-outs respectively.

The game was tied going into the bottom half of the fourth innings (0-0) when Cicero-North's Christian LaLomia started the inning off with a single to right-field. Jake McArdell reached on a fielder’s-choice – one out, man on first. Pitcher, Steven Theetge helped his own cause doubling on a hard-hit line-drive to center-field advancing runners to 2nd and 3rd with only one out.  An infield error would score McArdell giving CNS the lead 1-0 before Kaestle would control the damage allowing only one runner to score. The one run would prove to be enough as CNY goes on to win the game over Baldwinsville 1-0.

For Baldwinsville Billy Clifford had a good day at the plate going 1-1 with a walk. CNS relied on LaLomia and Theetge to muster up their only run of the game.  The pitching duel produced only three hits combined, two walks, one run, 13 strikeouts – Impressive lines for both pitchers.
