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!
