What a great game down in Bellevue Vets today as the Bellevue Tigers advance to the 36th District Championship.

 

Bellevue was leading 4-3 in the top of the 7th when Highlands was able to score 2 runs to take the lead 5-4.

 

With 2 outs in the bottom of the 7th, Ricky Buckler hit a double. This was followed by an infield base hit by Dylan Huff. Alex Hegge was then intentionally walked. Up came Tony Piper to bat, who cracked a line drive to center field to bring home 2 runs and the victory.

 

Great game by both sides.

 

Congrats Bellevue!:banana:

Wow. I'm guessing probably not a lot of people would have picked Bellevue to win the district at the start of the season (including yours truly). So apparently this team IS indeed more than capable of playing some good baseball without the world famous Hunter Jones?!? :sssh: Congrats to them and Coach Sanders.

I'm not a bit surprised. This team is much better than its record. Many of their losses came after falling apart defensively late in games. When they did fall apart, the boys didn't appear to stick together as a team. Perhaps they don't want their season to end yet!! Congrats to Bellevue!!

So Bellevue and Newport on to the Regionals. WOW.

Way to go Pipes. The old Muddog still getting it done.

Anyone have more game details? Who pitched, etc?

I heard Liggett was brought into pitch in the 7th. Is that true anyone?

Dropped routine fly balls with 2 outs and kicking it around in the infield all with 2 outs in the bottom of the 7th decided this one. Fundamentals and execution in the last inning was not present when needed. Congrats to Bellevue for taking advantage of some sloppy baseball by the Birds in the end and pulling out the win.

I heard Buckler started the 2 out rally with a 1-2 count after being fooled on two curve balls.

 

By the way, where is Frank_Davis who predicted the Birds would run rule the Tigers in 5? hmmmmmm

 

I also heard 8th grader Dylan Huff was instrumental in prolonging the inning and Piper finished it with a shot that scored the winning runs.

Yes. He came in with 2 outs. I'm not sure if the bases were cleared or if it was after Buckler got the double. However, he did give up the hits to Huff and Piper.

Congrats to the Tigers and to Coach Sanders.

I can't find him anywhere... I think he's in hiding!

Liggett came in with men on 1st and 2nd and issued an intentional walk to Hegge to load the bases with 2 outs. His 1st pitch was a ball, then came a swing and miss on Piper's 2nd pitch. He then fouled one down the right field line that the right fielder got a glove on but couldn't hang on (a long run for him that dropped against the fence) then came the hit up the middle past the 2nd baseman to score Buckler and Huff.

Congrats to Coach Sanders and the Tigers. What a nice way to wind down a rough season. Hang in there and win it all.

Wow..............Congrats Coach Sanders and Tigers on a huge win. Good Luck the rest of the way!
