2A state semifinal updates
June 11, 2009I finally have Internet capability out here at Disch--Falk, so here's a running update of what has and will happen:
We pick up the action in the top of the fourth, with Holliday leading 3-2 in the top of the fourth.
The Eagles scored three in the first on Seth Barrells' 2-run double, and Ryan Todd answered with his own double after that. SInce then, Holliday hasn't really threatened.
White Oak scored two in the third on a triple. No errors contributed to the runs coming home, but if Holliday had turned a double play or caught a fly ball (ruled a double).
Top 4: White Oak scores once in the inning with some nice small ball. A hit, a steal of 2nd, a bunt and a perfectly executed squeeze play that resulted in a hit. We're 3-3 going to the bottom of the inning.
Bottom 4: After two strikeouts, Colton Englishbee steals second base but slides too far past the bag and is tagged out. Brayden Little was caught stealing in the second inning. Still 3-3.
Top 5: A leadoff single and stolen base for White Oak. The guy moves to third on a groundout, and Buckmaster then gets a line out. But he can't get out of the inning. Cleanup hitter Chace Evans has an RBI double. Holliday is now down 4-3 with nine outs to go.
Bottom 5: Brayden Little gets a one-out walk, and Buckmaster has an infield hit. This is the Eagles' first time to have two baserunners since the first inning. Both runners advance, but Barrells grounds out to third to end the inning.
Top 6: Three up, three down for White Oak. That's the first time Buckmaster has done that since the first inning.
Bottom 6: Englishbee ties the game up on a sac fly. Then Tyler Cole's infield single gives Holliday the lead. Now they are three outs away from a berth in the 2A state championship.
Top 7: White Oak knots the score at 5-5 with an RBI single. A baserunning out also hinders a chance for them to take the lead. Can Holliday win with a walk-off hit?
Bottom 7: That answer is no. Holliday three up, three down. The first time that has happened today. We're going extra innings.
Top 8: Holliday turns a double play to gets out of the inning. The Eagles have another chance to end it with a run.
Bottom 8: Cole's two-out double into the gap brings home Dylan Stone for the winning run. Eagles win, 6-5.
