Varsity Baseball Gains Win in 9-Inning Thriller

Game Date
Apr 18, 2009
Score
SEAHAWKS: 3
SOUTHERN SENIOR HIGH: 2

 

The good news?  Another win for the Seahawks.  The bad news?  Base running is an adventure!

Despite repeated base running blunders that killed two innings, the 'Hawks survived a 9-inning thriller for another 3-2 victory, their third consecutive win.  The winning run scored on a bases-loaded walk in the bottom of the 9th inning.  Again, the real story was outstanding pitching.

Zach Morris started and went the first 7 innings, giving up 2 runs on 7 hits, striking out 5 and walking 3 hitters before being relieved by JK White.  White pitched the final two scoreless innings to gain credit for the win.

Down 2-1 in the bottom of the 7th with 2 outs, JK White worked a walk before Ryan Schoenbauer reached on an error.  Nick Whiting then walked to load the bases before Eric Aumann ripped a vicious shot off of the 1st baseman's foot for a hit and a game-tying RBI as White scampered home. 

Then, in the bottom of the 9th with 1 out, Schoenbauer was hit by a pitch.  After Nick Whiting singled, Aumann walked to load the bases.  Bobby Hite worked the count to 3-1 before taking ball 4 and forcing in Schoenbauer with the winning run.

Hite also had 2 doubles, bringing his season total to 8 - just one away from the South River school record!
