at Highland Park

 

Closely played game with a unique ending. JR Gabe Schultz pitched very well for HHS, going 6.2 for the W. Cooper pitcher (#31, I think) stifled the Birds most of the night as well. Schultz was also a star at the plate going 2/3 with an RBI.

 

With the Birds up 3-2 entering the Top 7th, Schultz retires the 1st batter on a nice diving catch by RF JR Jake Heck. Next batter hits a double over Heck's head. Following batter hits another double to chase Schultz in favor of JR Jake Liggett on the bump. Before Liggett makes a pitch, Coach Baioni appeals that the runner missed 3rd on the 2nd double. Umpire says "Yes, he did" and rings him up for the 2nd out. Takes the score back to 3-2 from a 3-3 tie. Liggett struggles with control to walk the bases loaded. Next batter grounds one up the middle which is stabbed by FR Jakey Whitford who steps on 2nd for the final out.

 

Birds next play Beechwood at Highland Park on THU and St. Henry at Highland Park on FRI for Senior Night.

Nice break for the birds. Congrats on a nice victory.

Congrats to the Birds. Collins is a nice athlete for Cooper, sounds like it was a nice duel between him and Schultz.

 

Frosh Jakey Whitford with the stab...that is awesome.
