Fannett-Metal (7-3) hosted the Windber Ramblers (5-3) in an ICC cross conference game on Tuesday evening.  The Tigers put together another solid all around game to pull away from the Ramblers by a 8-2 score.  

Senior Right hander Landon Arnold returned to form and dominated the Ramblers lineup with his fast ball while mixing in his breaking ball as needed.  Arnold threw 6.2 innings before giving way to reliever Wade Appleby for the final out.  

Arnold had eleven strikeouts while issuing only one walk.  He scattered four hits, two runs, with one earned on the afternoon.  Appleby struck out the only hitter he faced.  

The Tigers defense behind Arnold had no errors on the day and turned in a couple standout catches.  Shortstop Wade Appleby played a solid game highlighted by a beautiful backhand play in the hole to throw out a Rambler hitter.  Center fielder Jake Coffman robbed lead off hitter A.Strick of a sure RBI extra base hit with a spectacular catch in the third inning to keep the Ramblers off the scoreboard.  

The Tigers took a 2-0 lead in the second inning when Jake Coffman delivered a two out clutch 2RBI hit to score Adam Hammond and courtesy runner Kristan Koser.  

The Tigers offense kept the pressure on the Ramblers scoring another run in the third and fourth innings before breaking the game open with a four run fifth inning.

F-M had 10 hits on the day off Windber pitching.  Ayden Ryder had a RBI double and Landon Arnold launched a double.  Tucker Seibert and Jake Coffman each had a pair of hits.  Wade Appleby, Noah Naugle, Adam Hammond and Broc Hostler all had one hit.   Courtesy Runner Kristan Koser and Adam Hammond scored a pair of runs.  

The Tigers will next visit the Cardinals at 4:30 on Friday.
