De Soto SMCI scored five runs in the middle two innings Saturday to hand the Washington Post 218 Freshman Navy team a 7-3 setback in Washington Preseason Tournament play.
“We played a very clean ballgame,” Post 218 Manager Kerry Mallinckrodt said. “A few plays and calls made the difference.”
Both sides scored two runs in the second, but SMCI added four runs in the third and one in the fourth.
Post 218 managed a run in the bottom of the fifth, but it wasn’t enough. The game, at Rotary Recreational Complex - Ronsick Field, ended after the sixth inning due to the event’s time limit.
