Kingston Galentine drove in a total of five runs with just one hit Friday as the Heritage Patriots kept putting runners on base and driving them home by putting the ball in play, to the tune of an 18-7 win in five innings over Northrop Friday night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Galentine came up with runners at second and third base three different times and caused havoc for the Northrop infield. Coupled with aggressive baserunning, it was a perfect recipe for one of the oddest box scores of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It didn’t hurt that Beau Stoppenhagen, the team’s leadoff hitter, was 3-for-4 with a walk in front of Galentine, driving in four runs himself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Corbin Saalfrank also continued his fine hitting form with a triple and two more singles. He was driven in by Galentine each time he reached base. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Saalfrank started the game on the bench, ironically, but entered in the bottom of the first when the Heritage starter allowed the first four batters to reach. Saalfrank came on in relief and threw four innings, striking out seven. He did issue six walks, but still was good enough for the win. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Galentine threw the bottom of the fifth to seal the game, striking out two. Starting the game from his usual shortstop position, Galentine also stole a pair of bases. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucas Taylor had a double, a single and three steals as the Patriots won their 15th game of the year. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
