what happened to crosby???? and who pitched for both teams

Ever consider WOS played a great game. Zane came in and did a great job. He had them off balance and the defense played well. The kid that pitched for Crosby was also a good pitcher and could really bring it. He was over powering at times and had a lot of strike outs. I'm sure OLGabe will have an article that will have all the stats. I just know it was good to see WOS stay in the game and finish with the lead. Holding on to a lead and finishing a game is something we weren't able to do last year. This was a big win for us.

Mustangs nab huge win against Crosby in Certa-Bearden

WEST ORANGE — The West Orange-Stark Mustangs baseball team will remember Friday night for a very long time.

The Mustangs came in as underdogs against the Crosby Cougars and left Ronnie Anderson Field 4-1 winners.

WO-S (6-3) got a terrific performance from sophomore Zane Anderson on the mound.

Anderson went all seven innings and gave up one run on six hits with one walk and nine strike outs. He assisted in making sure Crosby stranded seven runners throughout the game.

“That is the best game I have ever pitched,†Anderson said. “It felt great. I knew I was going to have a good outing in the first inning. I was feeling all my pitches and hitting the corners.â€

WO-S Coach Jesse Riojas understands Friday’s win was not only big for the Certa-Bearden Tournament, it was a big win period.

“This was a big win for our season,†Riojas said. “We can’t be satisfied but we will remember this win. This shows a lot for our team and this program. All the hard work is really paying off. These kids have been working hard since last May.â€

The game was tied at 1-1 before Kendall Veitch put the Mustangs ahead for good with a sacrifice fly which plated Darius Mitchell.

Clayton Gearhart then drove in John Jefferson, who was running for Jordan Darnall, to make it 3-1 on a RBI single to right field.

Anderson and Darnall teamed up on the Cougars in the top of the sixth to make sure a rally would not happen.

Anderson struck out the first Crosby batter before Frank Rangel hit a single to center.

Darnall caught Rangel trying to steal for the second out and Anderson took care of the rest by striking out Cody Ressler for the third out.

Taylor Bonnin then led off the top of the sixth with a double to left.

Justin Sparrow then moved Bonnin over to third with a sacrifice bunt.

Bonnin made it 4-1 when Cody Hodge reached on a catcher interference call.

The Cougars did load the bases in the top of the seventh on an error, walk and infield single.

Anderson once again put the Mustangs on his back with a strike out to end the game.

Riojas was also happy at the size of the crowd at the tournament, a tournament which was not played for several years at WO-S High School.

“It’s all about Ronnie Anderson sitting there,†Riojas said. “It’s about the alumni hanging around and the crowd.â€

The Mustangs will face Dayton at 10 a.m. tomorrow and Kingwood Park at 3 p.m.

Everytime the Cougars got close to scoring or making a threat Zane got the big out. The WOS defense played great behind him.

There were a few calls that went the Mustangs way but in my mind a team makes their own breaks. WO-S  put the bat on the ball and forced the umps to make a call.

I know someone said it last night even if the calls had went the other way, the Mustangs would have won 2-1.

WO-S plain and simple won this game.
