JAGS Rally to win in 8 innings over Houston Northside
Falcons 19-12
This was definitely one of the most exciting games of the
year. The weather changed throughout the game. We had light
wind, mist, light rain, sunshine, and reports of tornadoes
in the TX area. The game was similar to the weather with
lots of ups and downs.
The Falcons scored first with 3 runs on 4 big hits in the
bottom of the first. The Jags added two runs in the top of
the second. Falcons added another run in the 2nd
inning. The Jags took the lead in the top half of the 3rd
inning with Parker McDaniel's double, Justin Leekley's
single, Michael Newsome's awesome triple, and Sam
Brownwood's single. The Falcons tied the game up 5-5 in the
bottom half of the inning.
The Falcons then scored two more runs in the 5th and 6th
innings to take a 9-5 lead heading into the 7th inning. The
Jags were looking at their last at bats in the top of the
7th trailing by 4 runs. Joe Sabatini reached on an error,
Justin Leekley followed with a single, Michael Newsome
singled Sabatini, Leekley and Newsome scored to cut
the lead 9-8. Brownwood and Smith drew walks advanced
to 3rd and 2nd on passed balls. With 2 outs and a 1
ball 2 strike count, Junior Avery Penrod stroked a 2 run
triple to give the Jags the lead 10-9! Jebediah Penrod hit a
single to score older brother Avery making the score 11-9.
In the bottom of the 7th Falcon batters reached on a single
and a double. Both runners scored on an error with 2
outs tying the game 11-11. The game went into extra
innings and the Falcon battery continued to struggle (4 of
the Jag's runs were scored on passed balls and 5 on wild
pitches throughout the game).The Jags broke lose for 8 runs
in the top of the 8th.During the inning Justin Leekley had
two doubles (he was 5 for 6 for the day with 2 RBIs, Michael
Newsome added another single (he was 3 for 6 with 3 RBIs),
another single for Andrew Smith, plus 4 Jags reached on
walks and one by hit by pitch. In the bottom of the
8th a lead off double for the Falcons came into score on a
single and then Jebediah Penrod ended the game with a double
play running across 2nd base and throwing to 1st baseman
John Tyree.
Austin Ervin started on the hill for the Jags. He was tagged
for 7 runs (4 earned). Avery Penrod relieved and pitched two
innings giving up 4 runs on 4 hits, none of the runs were
earned. Sam Brownwood ended the game for the Jags giving up
2 hits and one earned run!
JAGS WIN! 19-12
Game 3 is Friday at 11:30. With a win the Jags will play on
Saturday morning at 11:00 (against the loser of the 3rd seed
OKC Broncos and the 2nd seed Houston Thunder). A win in that
game would put them into the Claw Back bracket's
championship game and also win them a berth to the World
Series in Pensacola, Florida!
