A scrappy Allen Park Cabrini team came to Notre Dame Prep on Tuesday with an upset on their minds and accomplished half their mission, taking down the Irish with a 5-3 win in game one, before falling 5-0 in game two. The nightcap was shortened to five innings due to darkness. In game one, Irish starter Will Mullen threw well but a host of bad defensive plays led to four unearned runs that were the difference in the final outcome. Mullen went the distance giving up one earned run on eight hits while striking out 11. The Irish pounded out ten hits off Cabrini starter Peyton Harding but he spaced them well and stranded three runners in the bottom of the seventh to preserve a complete game win. Luke Shilling pounded his fourth homer of the year among his two hits, while Joey Vyskocil had two hits and an RBI and Jake Depillo and Kory Czajkowski also added two hits each. Matt Sollmer added a run producing single for NDP. In game two, Shilling took to the mound and provided a dominating five inning performance in earning his third win of the year. He struck out 13 and walked seven while giving up no hits in the game shortened by darkness. Kory Czajkowski’s RBI single in the second inning and Joey Vyskocil’s RBI single in the fourth were the game’s only hits. Notre Dame now stands 7-5 overall and 4-2 in the CHSL.
