The DC Grays (11-20) once again struggled at the plate in their Thursday evening contest against the South County Braves (12-18) at South County High School. The Grays lost 8-1, after a late grand slam by South County turned a close game into a rout.
The Grays managed just five hits on the night, featuring two from outfielder Henry Zipay (Nebraska Omaha). The only RBI of the night went to Braeden Mondeau (BYU), who scored Connor Larson (Wofford) on a walk. Diego Barrett (North Carolina A&T) started on the mound for DC, allowing only two runs over his five innings, with one walk and one strikeout. Jake Roberti (Louisburg) relieved Barrett on the mound, eventually giving up the grand slam that would be the nail in the coffin for DC. Despite his strong start, Barrett took a hard-luck loss. The winning pitcher was Seth Claybourne (Dayton), who had two strikeouts and allowed no runs over his two innings of relief. The Braves featured five pitchers in the contest, none of whom pitched for over three innings. The loss kept the Grays in last place of the Cal Ripken Collegiate League Southern Division, where the Braves sit in third. With the regular season winding down, these two teams continue to battle for the final playoff spot. The Grays are back in action Friday evening to host the Southern Maryland Senators at Nationals Baseball Youth Academy. First pitch at 7 p.m.
