GALENA —

In the first of two games at Galena, Southeast gave up seven runs in the first inning and did not get close to matching that by the end of the game.

It was no better in the second game, as the Lancers (1-2, 0-2) were no-hit in a game shortened by run rule.

The first game ended 9-4 in favor of Galena (3-1, 2-0 CNC), but most of that came in a first-inning explosion.

“We just swung our bats real well in the first game. We were very pleased with that inning,” said Galena head coach Ken Cook. “Zach Dainty is one of the best in the league, so we were pleased with that in the early going. He kind of shut us down after that, though.”

Not all of those runs came off hits, though.

“Those seven runs came on four hits and three errors. We had some miscues and they turned it around,”
said Southeast head coach Vic Colvin. “We just gave them way too many outs and opportunities. It wasn’t a very good night, but it’s a good night to reflect on.”

The second game was not any easier. The game only lasted five innings before being mercy ruled at 10-0.

Drew Bilke pitched four innings for Galena before being pulled for Daniel Williams. Why would Cook pull Bilke in the middle of a no-hit game?

“He did real well,” Cook said. “But we new that the game is all that matters. We have Colgan on Wednesday. We need him in relief on Wednesday. It was a good performance.”

Jacoby Martin and Troy Albright had home runs for Galena in the second game while Zach Gougler had a home run in the first game.
