Shepherd 3 Coldspring 2

[hook_em]

Shepherd pulls out a close one...always a tough game between the 2 teams no matter what their records are...Shepherd just couldnt put the bat on the ball hard enough..Coldspring scored in the 1st innning on a past ball and not again till the seventh when they went up 2-1...Shepherd didnt score until the 6th inning...Mikie Watson got on base with an error by the 2nd baseman then Zach Hubbard hits a shot between the short stop and the 3rd baseman..puttin runners on 1st and 2nd...then Jacob Greenhouse hits a double into the right field gap and scores 1 runner and Hubbard was called out on a close play at home trying to take the lead...Going into the 7th...score is tied at 1...Coldspring scores a run on a high bouncing ball over Hubbard with the infield in the grass trying to keep the run from scoring...Ralph Swan, who pitched the whole game, struck out 1 and then a guy was thrown at at 3rd for the last out of the Trojans at bat...Shepherd then gets 2 hits to put runners on base...Ralph Swan scores on a fly ball to right field and Alex Meng is thrown out at home trying to win for the 1st out...Runner on 3rd and Hayden Crowder lays down a suicide sqeeze bunt and Sam Webb, pinch runner for Hopkins, scores the winning run on the sqeeze...great execution by the Pirates under pressure to win the game!
