MONMOUTH — Cam Armstrong hit into a triple play in his second-to-last at-bat of Friday’s baseball game against rival Winthrop.
The Monmouth senior more than made up for it. On the mound, he pitched out of a jam in the top of the sixth and delivered a 1-2-3 top of the seventh as his pitch count creeped toward the maximum.
Then, when his turn in the batting order came around again in the bottom of the seventh, Armstrong singled to left-center field to drive home Hayden Fletcher and give the Mustangs to a 2-1 Mountain Valley Conference win at Chick Fields.
