IPSWICH Musketeers president Jon Campbell labelled Sunday's 5-4 win over Carina Redsox as "the gutsiest and best win I've seen in probably four years”.

Rhett Bramwell ran in the go-ahead score at the top of the 13th, after Brad Wise singled to left field.

Steve Greer kept Carina in check at the mound to close out the contest and give the Musketeers their first win in six outings.

The win came just days after their hosts subjected a 9-0 thumping on the Musketeers, and Campbell was full of praise for how the team responded against the number two ranked Redsox.

"It was unbelievable, the team showed a lot of ticker,” Campbell said.

"(Carina) had their best pitcher in pitching for them, and to win against them at home in that situation was pretty awesome really.”

Campbell called captain Brad Dutton "a man possessed” following a four-hit performance at the plate.

"Brad was unbelievable, it was probably the best game I've seen him play for a long time,” Campbell said.

"He was doing everything he could out there - e wasn't the only one, everyone played well.”

Taliesin Tardrew-O'Meara was impressive in his last outing for the Musketeers this season, pitching five innings and allowing just two hits.

The 19-year-old will leave early in the New Year to take up a baseball scholarship with Southeast Community College at Lincoln, Nebraska in the United States.

The young pitcher managed only a handful of games for the Musketeers, and Campbell said it was a shame the team did not have him for longer.

"It's a shame he's leaving so soon, he would have made the difference in a few of those close games we lost,” the president said.

The win ended a tough run of consecutive losses for the Ipswich side, which has coincided with an unavoidable mid-season roster reshuffle.

"From the team we had at the start of the season we're down five players,” Campbell said.

"Rhys Niit, Andrew (Campbell) and Wade Dutton are away with the Bandits, and the two Americans (Tanner Donnels and Jackson Boyce) left us in the lurch.”

Despite the disruptions, Campbell said the mood within the team had not faltered.

"I think it's the closest I've seen the boys, they were really tight (after the win),” he said.

"There was some friction there with the Americans - for those guys to just go home the way they did, you could sense things weren't quite right around the group.

"Now they're gone, hopefully this win can help kickstart some momentum heading into the second half of the season.”

The Musketeers enter the mid-season break in sixth position, but boast the second-most runs scored in the GBL competition.

Proof, Campbell said, that once the team gets its pitching right they are still more than capable of making noise in the finals.

"It goes to show pitching is everything in baseball, and it's been tough for us with guys having to pitch that aren't regular pitchers,” Campbell said.

"We're hoping to get Josh Roberts back after Christmas, and then not long after that the (Bandits players) will be back.

"We just have to stay close enough and sneak into that top four.”
