HTL: Jared Marty hits go-ahead double to give Cambridge win over McFarland

CAMBRIDGE — After McFarland rallied from a 6-1 deficit to tie the game at 6-6, Cambridge’s Jared Marty came to the rescue on Sunday.

With two outs in the seventh, Marty hit an RBI double to score Tyler Kledzik, pushing the Cambridge Blues to a 7-6 win over the McFarland Muskies at Cambridge High School.

After the Blues took the lead in the seventh, Cambridge relief pitcher Denver Evans kept McFarland off the scoreboard in the eighth and ninth innings to close out the win.

In the ninth, Evans got out of a bases-loaded jam with one out by recording back-to-back strikeouts for the win. Evans pitched four innings in relief, recording six strikeouts.

Also for Cambridge, Tyler Kledzik hit a solo home run in the first. In a five-run second, Carter Lund hit an RBI single to score Marty, while Evans drove in Lund on an RBI single.

JT Parish pitched five innings in a no-decision, recording five strikeouts.

For McFarland, the Muskies came back due to the strong hitting of Austin Miller, who hit a two-run double in the fifth and seventh. Miller then scored the tying run later in the seventh on an RBI single from Jake Wedvick.

Cambridge (3-1) has a road doubleheader versus Fort Atkinson at Jones Park on Sunday starting at noon.
