WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. -- The Mahoning Valley Scrappers fell to the Williamsport Crosscutters in a 4-4 sudden death loss Wednesday.
Per draft league rules, before the game, the home team manager will decide to play either offense or defense in the event of an extra-inning game. If the game is tied at the end of regulation, the teams will play an additional half-inning to determine a winner. The inning will begin with a runner - the third out from the previous inning - on first base and the scheduled hitter at the plate. The team starting the additional half-inning on offense will have three outs to score a run and win the game. If they fail to score a run, the winner is the team that began the half-inning on defense. All statistics during sudden death count.
For the Scrappers, Jordan Donahue registered two hits and an RBI.
Mahoning Valley fell behind 4-1 before a three-run fourth tied the game at 4-4. Peyton Shulze scored a run on a fielder's choice, and Max Johnson drew a walk to score a run. That was followed by a one-run double by Donahue.
Scrappers pitcher M.J. Gabaldon fired two innings, giving up three earned runs on three hits and three walks. He struck out three. Brandon Bergert threw four innings and allowed one earned run on four hits and two walks and struck out four.
Kolby Dougan also struck out four batters in two innings of work, during which he gave up no runs on one hit and not walks. In one inning of work, Andrew Morones struck out the side.
The Scrappers wrap up their series at Williamsport this evening, with first pitch set for 6:35 p.m.
