MONTICELLO - Monticello pitchers Lukas Kolasch and Corey McGowan combined only gave up five hits in a doubleheader sweep of Argyle, 11-6 and 12-8, on Thursday.
"It's good to get two conference wins," Monticello coach Jason Pinnow said, after the Ponies committed five errors in the second game of the twin bill. "I wish it could have been cleaner. To give up that many runs on five hits, we obviously have a lot of work to do in the field."
Kolasch pitched 5 2/3 innings in the first game and gave up four earned runs on two hits. He struck out eight and walked six. With the doubleheader sweep, the Ponies improve to 10-7, overall and 8-3 in the Six Rivers East.
Monticello senior Trae Seffrood hit a home run in the first inning. Argyle senior Cole Jordan had a big doubleheader, finishing 5 for 7 with two home runs.
Argyle senior Nate Thomas pitched just three innings and took the loss in the first game. He gave up five earned runs on seven hits. Thomas struck out two and walked one.
McGowan pitched a three-hitter in the second game. He struck out 14 and gave up just one earned run. The Ponies had five errors and that led to seven unearned runs. The Ponies put the game away scoring five runs in the fifth and three in the seventh.
Monticello senior Tyler Ritschard went 4 for 5 with a double and four RBIs in the second game. Seffrood was 2 for 3. Jordan was 3 for 4 with a home run to lead the Orioles.
Argyle's Jared Johnson pitched a complete game and gave up 11 earned runs on nine hits. He struck out nine and walked six.
