Harrisonburg Turks walk off, defeat New Market Rebels, 5-4

Contributors

hbg turksOn opening night of the Valley Baseball League season, left fielder Eric Kalbfleisch led the Harrisonburg Turks to a 5-4 walk-off win over the New Market Rebels.

The UNC Greensboro senior finished with three RBIs, including a bases-loaded fielder’s choice in the bottom of the ninth inning that won the game for the home team.  Kalbfleisch had opened the scoring in the first inning with an RBI groundout that scored center fielder Thomas Spitz.  Later on in the seventh, he had another RBI infield single that tied the ball game at 4-4.

The Turks had to rally to earn their first win of the season, going into the bottom of the sixth inning down 4-1.  An RBI triple from third baseman Matt Rose cut into the Rebels’ lead in the bottom of the frame.  In the seventh inning, a bases loaded walk from second baseman Matt King preceded the Kalbfleisch single that deadlocked the game.

The first half of the game was a defensive affair.  Harrisonburg right-handed pitcher Kyle Lewallyn had a no-hit bid broken up in the fifth inning after he had retired eight consecutive batters.  New Market right-hander Garrett Kelly pitched six innings, allowing just two runs.  Right-hander Tyler Brown earned his first win of the season, allowing no runs in three and two thirds innings; left-hander Joseph Pokrentowski took the loss for New Market.

The Turks return to Veterans Memorial Park on Saturday to host the Strasburg Express at 7:30 p.m.
