New Arkton Takes 2-0 Series Lead in Low-Scoring Affair
Their bats were silent and New Arkton had a rookie on the mound. No problem.
On a day when the Bears struggled to string together much offense, the club got a big boost from 23-year-old starter Gary Cox. The left-hander quieted the Capital City Monarchs at Walnut Street Stadium to help New Arkton take the 2-1 decision and seize a 2-0 advantage in the best-of-7 League Championship Series.
Cox gave New Arkton a solid start. The left-hander allowed 1 run on 1 hit over 6 innings.
“If I go out there and help the team win, that’s all you can do,” said Cox.
Game 3 is set to be played Sunday at Monarchs Ballpark. The scheduled starters for the game are Hector Gomez for New Arkton and Kenta Takano for Capital City.
