KHS vs.
Memorial’s four runs in the 1st enough
to beat Mustangs.
Kingwood traveled to Pasadena Memorial for game one in the best of
three series of the Bi-District Playoff and took one square on the chin as the
Mavericks pounded out 13 hits to win convincingly 11-1. Eric Stover started on the mound for the
Mustangs and put the first two batters down in order. After that it was all Memorial
as the Mavericks scored four in the 1st followed by six in the 2nd to go up
10-1. The Mavericks added one more run
in the 3rd to finish out the scoring in the run-rule shortened
contest. Stover worked through three
innings and then Garrett Doyle took over in relief. Doyle struck out two of the three batters he
faced in the 4th and final inning.
In the top of the 1st, the Mustangs put the first run on
the board when Geoff Perrott smashed a solo shot over the wall in left
center. The Mustangs’ early momentum was
short lived as the Mavericks answered with four runs in the bottom half of the
inning and then held the Mustangs scoreless for the remainder of the game.
With one out in the 2nd, Ryan Grundy beat out an infield
single and Brett Stilwell followed with single up the middle. Matt Brown then loaded the bases on a four
pitch walk to bring Jordan Rainey to the plate.
Rainey gave the Mustangs hope when he stroked one deep to right but the
fielder ran it down to end the side and the only serious threat the Mustangs
would mount.
In the 3rd, David Tittle led off with a double to left
center but was eliminated on a 1-6 play when Perrott hit one back to the
pitcher. Dale Brown came in as a
courtesy runner for Perrott and was left stranded when the next two batters
went down in order. In the 4th,
Cory Frankum drove a two-out single up the middle and Matt Brown joined him on
the base paths when he worked another walk.
A groundout ended the inning with both runners aboard. Kingwood went down in order in the 5th,
and the game ended by run-rule.
Contributing to the Mustang offense were Geoff Perrott (1/3, HR,
RBI), David Tittle (1/3, Dbl), Ryan Grundy (1/2), Brett Stilwell (1/2), Cory
Frankum (1/2).
