GO LAKE!
This game started with these Bulldogs rushing out to a 4 run first inning lead when Hawks pitching had a hard time finding the strike-zone.
The Lake did respond scoring 2 runs during the bottom of that opening stanza when Wayen Slanina-Wertz’s two strike single drove in Gram Simpson and Carter Williams who reached base via a free pass.
A two run deficit would increase to 3 runs after an opening home-run to start the 3rd inning for Bandera.
GO HAWKS!!
Then Senior Ryder Hopper was called to the mound to help keep this must win contest close for a chance to keep this game with-in reach. Class Act for sure with a brilliant come to the rescue outing for Senior Hopper.
With one out in the 3rd inning Hopper worked out of trouble before allowing another run later that was helped by an error but a 6-4-3 double play helped minimize the damage.
Bandera had stretched their lead back to 4 runs, 6-2 but now CLake had just 3 innings to respond.
Let’s GO LAKE!
Walks was the mold of transportation on this night as these Bulldogs pitchers walked 14 Hawks and which was how CL was able to tie this game in the 5th inning that started with a pop out to first base. Then Senior Hopper singled which was followed by 2 walks and a couple of balks that scored Hopper.
Then an intentional walk had Williams batting with the bases loaded with still one out. Enter Senior Michael Anderson with a two run single scoring Simpson and Holladay. Anderson has reached base safely for 16 straight games and this would be his 4th contest with more than one hit.
Williams stole home for CL’s final run in the 5th tying the score, at 6 runs a piece.
Go Lake!
A scoreless 6th inning set up that final act for this Senior crew.
To start reliever Williams struck out the side after a lead-off single before a Hawk response that would be an intentional act by these Bulldogs when Williams was given his second free pass this game putting the winning run on first base.
Enter Anderson’s double to centerfield which had a scorched earth running by Williams for that winning score. A Senior Moment on this night and Curtain Call today don’t miss this play!
Curtain Call today…Saturday in Wimbo for a chance to add more games to this year’s schedule.
Way to GO SENIORS & HAWKS!
