Ramos allowed zero hits and zero runs over four innings, striking out eight and walking three. Joey Kirk threw one inning of shutout ball for LaPorte in relief. Kirk gave up zero hits, striking out three and walking three. The Slicers amassed nine hits in the game. Matzke went 1-for-3 at the plate as the right fielder led the team with two runs batted in. Kirk led LaPorte with two hits in three at bats. Reed Raymond paced the Slicers with two walks. Overall, the team had patience at the plate, accumulating six walks for the game. Ramos stole two bases. LaPorte was again sure handed in the field and didn’t commit a single error. Shreve had the most chances in the field with seven. The Slicers are next in action Saturday, May 11th, when they will take on Lowell in a double header.
