Nelson Holds Radscorpions Scoreless, Vault-Tec Wins 4-1
Vault-Tec has been perfect in the 2286 playoffs at the other team’s facility.
The Vault Boys are now 4-0, including winning the first two games of the Mojave Series. This time, behind the masterful pitching of Tom Nelson, the Vault Boys defeated North Vegas 4-1 on Wednesday.
Nelson, the game’s MVP, pitched seven shutout innings, giving up three hits and striking out ten. He also drove in all four of the Vault Boys’ runs.
The Vault-Tec bullpen then came on to allow one earned run on one hit with three walks and a strikeout in the final two innings.
Nate Camp suffered the loss for the Radscorpions. He lasted just three innings, allowing four earned runs on two hits with three walks and four strikeouts. The North Vegas bullpen then held the Vault Boys in check, not allowing any runs on three hits with six walks and four strikeouts in the final six innings.
Vault-Tec scored all of its runs in the top of the second inning. Joseph Dillon led off with a walk. With one out, Anthony Savage singled and Raul Castro walked to load the bases. After Arlen Vaughn was caught looking, Nelson took a 1-0 pitch over the fence for a grand slam.
The Radscorpions scored their lone run in the eighth. Duncan Whaley walked to lead off, and Squirrel And walked with one out. After a pitching change to Greg Thompson, Kirby Brown singled to load the bases. Jason Williams then walked to earn an RBI and make the score the final of 4-1.
North Vegas and Vault-Tec will now travel to Primm for the next three games, if all three are necessary. The Vault Boys only have to win two more games to clinch the series.
