Bell fires one-hit shutout in James Wood baseball win

WINCHESTER — Nick Bell struck out 12 batters in a one-hit shutout and Kemper Omps drew a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the seventh inning to give the James Wood baseball team a 1-0 win over Kettle Run on Friday at R. Charles Hott Field.

The only hit Bell allowed came with one out in the seventh inning. Omps was walked with one out in the bottom of the seventh after the Colonels (2-0) loaded the bases on an error, a Bell single and an intentional walk. Jared Neal scored the winning run.

Trevor Strosnider had James Wood's only other hit against Kettle Run's Damen Tapscott, who struck out six batters and walked three in his 6.1 innings.
