Clay McCord and James Albury teamed up Wednesday night and extended the Midwest Sliders of Ypsilanti’s winning streak to five games. The Sliders beat the River City Rascals 5-0 at EMU’s Oestrike Stadium.
Albury had another strong outing that showed why he was voted a Frontier League All Star. He threw seven innings not allowing a run, and only two hits. The win improved Albury’s record to 6-1 and tied him with most wins in the Frontier League.
The Sliders jumped on Rascal pitching in their first at bats scoring three runs. Clay McCord hit a single that plated Jimmy Baker and Gil Zayas to make it 3-0.
Zayas and Robbie Knapp both singled to leadoff the fourth, then scored on another McCord single. McCord finished the night 3-3 with a double, and four RBI’s.
Thursday the Sliders will go for their second straight sweep at 7:05 p.m. in Oestrike Stadium. Jeff Fischer (2-0, 2.89) will toe the rubber for Midwest against Tyler Musselwhite (3-2, 5.21) of River City.
