The win not only extended the Coyotes\u2019 struggles (now 9-12) but also kept the SweatSox firmly in the hunt for a crucial first-round playoff bye.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The game turned in the fifth inning, with the SweatSox trailing 4-1. That\u2019s when the offense erupted for four runs, capped by an RBI single from Steve Brown. The SweatSox added three more insurance runs in the sixth, giving pitcher Josh Ramage all the support he needed to secure his tier-leading sixth win of the season.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis team doesn\u2019t quit,\u201d said SweatSox Manager Cory Bond. \u201cWhen our backs are against the wall, we find a way to step up, and tonight was no different.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ramage (6-4) threw six innings of nine-hit ball, allowing four runs while striking out two. The veteran also reached career milestones of 600 innings pitched and 69 innings pitched this season.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJosh has been a workhorse for us all season,\u201d said Cory the Authority. \u201cTo reach 69 innings pitched in a season and 600 for his career in the same game? That\u2019s special.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ramage downplayed the milestone but acknowledged its significance. \u201cIt\u2019s great to hit those numbers, but it\u2019s all about getting the win for the team,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eric White closed out the game with a flawless seventh inning, retiring the Coyotes\u2019 top of the order in quick succession. His stellar pitching was slightly overshadowed by an amusing moment on the basepaths.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLet\u2019s just say my mind wasn\u2019t on first base,\u201d White joked after getting picked off immediately after he should&#8217;ve been picked off. \u201cI\u2019m glad my teammates had my back after that.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Offensively, the middle-bottom of the lineup shined. Larry Pawelek, Trevor Williams, Phil Leduc, and Craig Cornell combined to go 5-for-9 with seven runs scored, drawing three walks in the process.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cornell\u2019s efforts didn\u2019t stop at the plate. His defensive performance, with three assists and a putout while rotating between third base and shortstop, earned him Defensive Player of the Game honors. First baseman Cory Bond also drew praise for his steady glove, recording 10 putouts.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cCraig was a wall out there,\u201d said Bond. \u201cAnd Shaun [Keay] waving Larry [Pawelek] home from second was pure guts. That\u2019s the kind of energy we need from our third baseman and our third base coach.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Coyotes\u2019 Kevin Seguin took the loss despite going the distance, allowing eight runs on seven hits while striking out five.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With two games remaining in the regular season, the SweatSox are in prime position to lock up second place in their tier and the coveted first-round playoff bye. To do so, they must win both of their remaining games, starting with Friday\u2019s matchup against the Bats at Kinsmen (8:30pm).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s going to take everything we\u2019ve got,\u201d said Bond. \u201cBut this team is ready for the challenge.\u201d&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">LAST NIGHT: Ramage reaches the 600 IP milestone, while passing Cory for 2nd then tying Eric for 1st on our all-time single season IP leaderboard (71.33).<br><br>Oh yeah, and I put on a clinic as 3rd base coach.
