STEUBENVILLE — In one of the most highly anticipated games of the American Legion baseball season, Steubenville Post 33 scored four runs in the first two innings and rode its nearly flawless pitching and defense in earning a 6-2 victory over rival Wintersville Post 557 at Vaccaro Field Wednesday. Steubenville’s Toby Longo struck out five and walked one in the complete game victory. “After the first inning, Toby pitched very well,” Post 33 head coach Mark Stacy said. “He was behind guys early and gave up a bunch of hits. Later in the game, he started to get ahead of the hitters and he pitched a really nice ballgame.” Wintersville got on the board first when Jordan McIntyre was driven in on a single by Alan Hastwell and Brandon Borkoski later scored, giving Post 557 the early 2-0 lead. It did not take Post 33 long to respond. After Jordon Meyer reached base on an error, Jeremy Banks singled and Anthony Pierro drove in both with a two-out single, tying the game.
