BROOKVILLE — A pair of defensive miscues led to five third-inning runs for Brookville as the Raiders defeated Bradford 6-4 on Monday.
Brookville led off the third with three hits, and it looked like the Owls might be able to limit the damage. But a pair of Bradford errors — two of four in the game — kept the inning alive and allowed the home team to build what proved to be an insurmountable lead.
“We were almost out of it, but we kicked the ball around and they scored three more runs,” Bradford coach Andy Carlson said of the pivotal frame.
Brady Caylor got the win for Brookville, going five innings and finishing with three strikeouts and two walks. Caylor also had two hits at the plate, while Evan Shields had three knocks for the Raiders (3-4).
For Bradford (4-5), Adam Boyer notched an RBI double, while Hunter Gray and Patrick Caskey both had RBI singles. Dan Manion added two singles.
The Owls will be back in action this afternoon when they host St. Marys.
