A six-run eighth inning proved to be too much for the Algoma Penguins to overcome in an 11-6 loss to Casco on Tuesday.

 

After finding itself down 3-0 in the first inning, the Penguins scored single runs in the first, third and fourth frames to tie the game heading into the back half of the game. The game was tied at five before disaster struck for the Penguins as the A's batted around with an RBI double by Noah Lindsley and a three-run Owen Deprez home providing the fireworks. The Penguins could only muster a single run in the ninth the rest of the way.

 

For the A's, Trevor Reinhardt and Kordell Draves each had three and two RBI while Deprez and Patrick Daniels each had a pair of knocks. Colin Lacey got the win on the mound as he allowed two runs (0 ER) on a hit and two walks in 1.1 innings of work while striking out two. That came after Deprez struck out 15 in 5.2 innings of work while allowing three runs (0 ER) on three hits.

 

For the Penguins, Jaden Dillar collected the lone RBI on the night as he, Brady Kita, Jack Peterson, and Carson Leist accounted for the team's hits. Sam Zirbel took the loss, allowing seven runs (7 ER) on five hits in 1.2 innings of work.

 

The Penguins take on the Lookouts on Thursday while the A's bounce back on Friday to take on the White Caps. Both games have 7:30 p.m. starts.
