Landstown 3 Bayside 2 (12 innings)!!
Quick moving game until the extra innings kept piling up.
Bayside struck first with 2 runs off starter Kyle Lawhorn, but Lawhorn would keep the marlins bats at bay the rest of the way. I believe he had 8 or 9 Ks, but also 3 walks and to HBPs.
It was 2-0 in the bottom of the seventh when the eagles tied it up to force extra innings. First runner scored from third on a fielders choice, then with two outs, Cameron Butler hit a in the gap stnad up double to score the runner and tie things at 2.
Lawhorn had some trouble locating in the 8th, and Butler relieved him. Would end up going to the twelth, recorded 6 or 7 Ks, but also walked 2.
In the bottom of the eleventh, the eagles had runners on 2nd and 3rd with no outs, with the 3,4,5 batters coming up. It looked like it was about to be over....but....Cameron Day SMOKED a line drive to the left fielders face, Cam Butler hit a line drive shot to center, and mike feduniewicz grounded out to the pitcher.
To the twelth, error by the third baseman put ray mance on second. Would try to get sac bunted over but the bunt was short and the catcher threw mance out at third. Sophomore Colton Langejans hit a shot down the left field line. Runner from first would go all the way around to score the walk off double.
The eagles were playing solid baseball defensively in the infield; 3B Robert Perkins and SS Ray Mance played great.
As you read in the paper this morning, Landstown is #1 in the region. Congrats Eagles on the new ranking and comeback win.
Tough game at Cox Friday. Not sure who will throw. Should be a good one!
