PBR New England Spotlight Game: Rutland vs Mount Anthony

Rutland, Vt.-- Junior Jason Smith (2017 C) drove in four runs and senior Andy Kenosh (2016 RHP/1B) hurled five strong innings as Rutland topped Mount Anthony Union of Bennington in a key Marble Valley League (southern Vermont) clash Tuesday afternoon at John Giorgetti Park.

The Raiders, ranked second in the latest Vermont PBR Power Rankings, improved to 9-2 with the win. MAU, ranked 11th, lost its second straight to fall to 6-3. 

Rutland banged out 10 hits and took advantage of six errors by the Patriots whose three pitchers also walked five and hit four batters.

Smith went 2-for-3 on the day with a pair of key two-run singles, one in the Raiders four-run third inning and his second capped a six-run fourth that broke the game open.

Kenosh, bound for D-I Marist, scattered six hits and walked none, allowing only an unearned run while striking out five, leaving the mound with an 11-run lead. At the plate he reached four times with two hits and two hit-by-pitches, and scored three times. He had a long double in the fourth inning uprising.

Mount Anthony had five doubles among its seven hits but did not have more than one hit in an inning until the seventh when three hits brought in two runs for the final 12-3 margin. Kenosh had just one perfect inning, the fifth, but he allowed a one-out single to Carter Bentley who was thrown out at second trying to steal by Smith.

Tommy Kenosh (2018 IF), Jacob Clark-Tropana (2016 1B) and Matt Hadeka (2016 OF) also had RBI doubles for the Raiders while Adler Billings (IF/OF) went 2-for-4 with a steal and a RBI.

Brody Farnum (2016, OF/RHP) and Bryce Bush (RBI) and went 2-for-3 with doubles for Mount Anthony while Noah Normyle (2016 3B/RHP), one of the state of Vermont's top players who is bound for D-III Rensselaer, went 1-for-3.

The starter and first of three Patriots hurlers, A.C. Condo (RHP/IF 2016) took the loss.
