AUBURN, Ala. – The 15U National Team tossed its third consecutive shutout and downed Australia by a score of 4-0 on Tuesday at Auburn University. Team USA improves to 3-0, has allowed only three hits over three games and has yet to concede a run in the International Friendship Series.
Team USA’s pitching staff earned the spotlight for the third straight game, as the stars and stripes boasted its depth of arms as evident by Camden Boehm’s stellar start on the bump. After conceding a two-out hit in the top of the first, Boehm refused to yield a base knock the rest of his outing and dipped into double-digit strikeouts. The tall frame of Team USA’s starter hurled 5.0 shutout innings of one-hit ball, struck out 10 batters and did not allow a walk. Luke Esquivel, a southpaw from Grapevine, Texas, made his series debut and faced the minimum en route to throwing 2.0 hitless innings.
The red, white, and blue stayed hot and supplemented its pitching with an effective offense at Hitchcock Field at Plainsman Park. Quick innings and hard-throwing arms tells the tale of Tuesday’s win, as only one hit was conceded in the 15U National Team’s victory. Heads-up baserunning and timely base knocks by Dexter McCleon Jr. and Jacob Seamon were critical in securing Team USA’s third win. McCleon Jr. notched an RBI and posted a 1-for-2 performance at the plate while Seamon went 1-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored. Jordan Kurz got the start at short and was a brick wall for the U.S., he collected an extra-base hit in his first start of the week.
