KHS vs.
humble District 21-5A Game
Kingwood comes out swinging getting five runs on five hits in bottom of
1st inning on way to 10-5 win over rival Humble.
In a game that often sets the tone for each team’s season, Kingwood
hosted long time rival Humble on Friday evening in their first meeting of the
2008 season and cruised to a 10-5 victory.
Senior Michael Oros started on the hill for the Mustangs and went four
innings to earn the win. Although Oros
struggled with his command, he recorded two strike outs in each of the final
three innings he pitched. Junior Taylor Taska came on in relief in the top of the 5th
and pitched two scoreless/hitless innings.
Taska faced the minimum six batters and struck
out three. Senior Austin Evitts took over for the final inning and looked sharp as
he struck out two of the four batters he faced and held Humble to another goose
egg on the scoreboard.
Kingwood jumped all over Humble in the 1st inning
scoring five runs on five hits. Jordan
Raney opened the game with a single to right, but his time on the bases was
short lived as he got tagged out after getting caught in a pickle. Cody Perkins followed with a walk and
advanced to 2nd on David Tittle’s ground
out. Geoff Perrott then brought Perkins
home with a slashing single to left center and advanced to second on the throw
home. Conor
McGinnis plated Dale Brown, running for Perrott, with an RBI single to left and
then raced home to score Kingwood’s fourth run of the inning on Cory Frankum’s scorching double down the left field line. Frankum added the final run of the inning
when Bret Stilwell’s grounder to short was mishandled
and Frankum came home on the throw to first.
In the bottom of the 2nd, Perkins led off and smacked
what appeared to be a sure hit to left but the Humble fielder snagged the ball
with a diving catch to send Perkins back to the dugout. Tittle then worked a walk and trotted home
two pitches later courtesy of Perrott who blasted a homer over the left center
wall for his first round tripper of the season.
Jonathan Freemyer followed and gave Kingwood another scoring opportunity
when he worked a walk and then stole second.
Freemyer's work paid off as he came home when Frankum’s routine fly to center was dropped by the fielder.
Kingwood added another run in the 3rd when Matt Brown
led off with solo shot deep over the wall in left. In the 4th, the Freemyer Frankum
combo teamed up again to give Kingwood a 10-5 lead. Freemyer led off with a sizzling double down
the left field line, advanced to 3rd on a wild pitch, and then
scored on Frankum’s sac fly to left.
In the 5th, Matt Brown led off with a double to right
center and Tittle joined him on the base paths when he drew a walk, but both
were left stranded. In the 6th,
Frankum and Stilwell hit back to back two-out singles but were left standing at
second and third when the side retired.
Contributing to the Mustang offense were Matt
Brown (2/3, HR, Dbl, HbP, RBI), Jonathon Freemyer
(2/3, 2Dbl, BB, RBI, SB), Cory Frankum (2/3, Dbl, Sac, 2RBI, RE), Geoff Perrott
(2/4, HR, 3RBI), Conor McGinnis (1/3, RBI), Brett
Stilwell (1/4, RE).
