Highlights Mildred wins playoff
series in two games
By Sam Epps
Sports Editor
EUSTACEThe Mildred Eagles defeated the Eustace
Bulldogs in two games to win round one of the baseball playoffs.
Game one, which was held in Mildred, saw Mildred win 6-3.
In the matchup, Eustace had a late offensive charge, scoring a
run in the sixth inning, and two more in the seventh.
Mildred, however, scored twice in the bottom of the first inning
and added four runs in the third.
Game two began Friday night in Eustace.
The game remained scoreless until the bottom of the fifth
inning, when Eustace scored two runs for the lead.
Mildred responded in the top of the sixth inning, scoring four
runs before impending storms and lightning forced the game to be
delayed with Mildred on top, 4-2.
With the weather not cooperating, the game was postponed until
the following day.
On Saturday, Eustace picked up where they left off and scored
one run in the bottom of the sixth inning, closing Mildreds
lead to 4-3.
Mildred added a run in the top of the seventh, regaining the
two-run advantage.
In the bottom of the seventh, the Bulldogs rallied for another
run before a pop-fly ended the game with Mildred taking the win,
and the series.
Over the course of the two games, Eustace had 16 hits, including
three triples.
In game two, Trevor Lane had two hits and an RBI, and Tim
Gassman added two hits. Gassman also had a hit and an RBI in
game one.
Tyson Oliver, Jordan Foote, Blake Ward, Kyle Purselley, Raymond
Shutak and Gavin Kirkhart all had hits for the Bulldogs.
