In a pivotal western-division game at Manor Church (BIC) on Thursday night, Central Manor’s defense was not enough to keep them winners. The maroon and white were downed by rival Salem U.C.C. 8-6 in front of a huge crowd watching the game on the hillside.
Offensive highlights included an Austin Binkley homerun to left-center and a towering ground rule double off the bat of Josh Baker over the hill in left. Central Manor continued to ground out and could never get a serious rally together to push runs across. Dan Fisher pitched a game good enough for the win, but was denied by poor run support and a couple of tough defensive plays.
The loss puts CM at 11-6 on the season and hurts the chances of a division championship. The next game is schedule for Tuesday night against Hempfield United Methodist and will be played at Wayside Presbyterian Church. The game is Central Manor’s first at Wayside this season, and will begin at 7:00pm.
