The Butler BlueSox defeated the Jamestown Jammers 4-1 last night in the Prospect League. Butler starting pitcher Tyler Slepski allowed just three hits and one run over eight innings. Slepski, a Butler native, did not walk a batter and struck out three. He improved his record to 3-1 and lowered his ERA to 2.89 this season. Closer Zach Spangler pitched a perfect ninth inning for his club-record 14th save. First baseman David Marcus, who had a 15-game hitting streak ended the night before, hit two home runs in the game, and has a league-leading seven for the year. The victory kept the BlueSox within a game and a half of first-place Champion City, who defeated Richmond 7-2 last night. Butler will host Quincy of the Western Division tonight for a double-header. First game will begin at 5:05pm.
Next Wednesday, July 22nd is Butler Media Group Night at Kelly Automotive Park when the BlueSox host Richmond. Game time is 6:35pm, but a pre-game party will be held outside the park beginning at 5pm. $3,500 worth of summer fun tickets will be given away during the game that night by the Butler Media Group.The post Butler native leads BlueSox to win appeared first on Inside Butler County – Butler, PA.
