Micah Schneider singled and scored in the bottom of the frame to get Sidney on the scoreboard, but the Regulators got that run back in the next inning, plus another in the fourth inning to maintain their lead.

Sidney fought back with Patrick McCartney singling and scoring in the second inning and Owen Gillham working a walk then scoring in the fourth to keep Sidney close, but Sheridan then put up three runs in the sixth inning to pull away for the 10-to-3 victory.

Gunnar Dorcey led the Sidney offense with two hits and two RBI’s in the loss. Riddle pitched one inning and gave up three hits and four earned runs.
