Carroll 9, Marshall 8
The Rebels scored nine runs in the bottom of the seventh to come back and beat the Patriots on Tuesday.
Marshall built an eight-run lead as they scored one in the second, two in the second, three in the sixth and two in the top of the seventh.
“Going into the bottom of the seventh we only had singles by Noah Collier, Dane Greenlee, and Crawford Holly,” coach Rusty Miler said. “After every inning Coach Bryan Neal said we are going to get these guys, I can just feel it. We had been hitting the ball but right at them. What an amazing comeback! These guys never gave up”
In the seventh, Logan Neal, Colby Holly and Bubba Porter all singled. Neal and Holly then scored on a single by Gavin Wiltshire. After Andrew Montgomery walked, Noah Collier singled driving in Porter and Wiltshire. After a strikeout, Jacob Cutts walked to reload the bases. Crawford Holly reached an error to score pinch runner Hunter Graham and Collier. After another strikeout, Colby Holly walked to load the bases. Porter then came back to bat and hit a grounder to first and beat out the first baseman to the bag. Cutts scored on the play and Crawford Holly scored while the first baseman was “looking at the umpire in amazement.” Colby Holly took third and then scored the winning run on an overthrow to complete the comeback.
Lofton Holly picked up the win and improved to 2-1 in 2/3 innings of relief. Montgomery started and went 6 1/3 innings on the mound, giving up eight runs on eight hits and three walks.
