Nederland has about two guys that can hit.

Nederland had more hits than LCM tonight . To many k's with RISP, add a couple baserunning blunders into the mix , Ned had alot of traffic on the bases tonight . One big base hit changes things

props to tje Bulldogs for a hard fought game, as I knew it would be.  This game was a definite 7 inning duel, no matter the score.  Our Bears had to be on top of their game to fight off the scrappy 'Dogs.  This is one of those games where you walk out of the ballpark knowing you saw a great game.  Congratulations Osos, keep it up...Big Ned, hard fought tough game, way to play ball.

Bears use big innings to beat Dogs

By Cody Pastorella

The Port Arthur News

NEDERLAND — The Bulldogs game plan going into their Tuesday night District 22-4A matchup with Little Cypress-Mauriceville was simple. The plan was to play solid defense, keep the Bears' hitters off balance and find a way to come up with the key hits.

  After the first inning, Nederland picked up one run on three hits and seemed to be in control of the plan.

  But LC-M scored three runs in the third to take a 3-1 advantage and then added three runs in the fourth and one more in the fifth to claim a 7-3 victory over the Bulldogs on Tuesday night.

  With the win, the Bears move to 16-3 overall and 4-1 in league play while Nederland falls to 7-9-1 overall and 2-3 in district.

  The Bulldogs outhit LC-M 10-9 but left nine runners on base. Leaving runners on base, especially runners in scoring position, has been Nederland's problem all year.

  It was certainly the Dogs problem against the Bears.

  Nederland left two on in the first inning and then when trailing 7-2 in the fifth, the Dogs left the bases loaded.

  After getting a lead-off triple from Trey Terrancina in the sixth inning, the Bulldogs only managed one run.

  "It's the same thing we've talked about before," said Nederland head coach Cody Robbins. "We just didn't get the timely hits. I thought we played hard and I'm proud of our effort. I thought our pitching was alright and we didn't make but a couple errors. What cost us the most was never getting that hit. We never got that shot into the gap with runners on base."

  The one bright spot for Nederland's offense was sophomore Kirby Bellow who went 3-for-3 with a walk and two runs scored.

  Bellow hit two singles and doubled. The double came in the first inning with one out. Jordan Pitts singled to move Bellow to third and then Ryan Sampere drove Bellow in on a single.

  Nederland did not score again until the fifth inning when Sampere singled in Bellow a second time.

Sampere's second RBI made the score 7-2.

Meanwhile, LC-M had little problems scoring and had plenty of timely hits.

Tim Berry got the Bears rolling in the third inning with a triple. Then John Gunn singled Berry in to tie the ball game at 1-1. Gunn later scored when Stefan Leger singled. Leger's hit also induced a wild throw from Nederland shortstop Jordan Pitts.

Nederland's pitching was solid.  Coach probably should have made the change quicker but that's hindsight which is always 20/20.  Defense was solid.  The two errors were hustle errors by Pitts and Laird that really didn't effect the final outcome of the game.  Pitts did a good job just to keep the ball in the infield on Leger's hit and should have just held on to the ball instead of trying to stop the bleeding by throwing off balance and Bellow appeared to stretch and stay on the base on Laird's throw to first but the ump saw otherwise and wouldn't ask for help from a different angle.  Base running also wouldn't have changed the outcome just made it closer.  Bellow slipped on a steal which got him picked off and coach misread a fly and sent Pitts from third on what would have been a sac fly by McFarland.  Timely hits were the difference.  Nederland hit better than they have all year.  Bellow, Pitts, and Sampere have hit consistently since the start of the season and you added McFarland, Stanley, and Terracina who had been struggling.  Hopefully the hits continue just not so spaced out.  LCM got the timely hits.  Nederland has been on the wrong end of some well played games hopefully it will turn around.
