Bat Cats split with Rose Hill Wildcats
BAT CATS 4, ROSE HILL WILDCATS 0 (G2) — Bat Cats pitcher Jacob Field threw a brilliant 83-pitch, 5-hit shutout to earn a split of Tuesday's Jayhawk Collegiate League baseball doubleheader. Field stranded a pair of base runners in scoring position.
Great Bend executed "small ball," when a Tyler Clementz second-inning bunt was misplayed and Andrugh Yee and Luke Nohinek scored. Carson Umphreys singled, moved to third base on Peanut Brazzle's single and scored on a fifth-inning error. Clementz scored on an Elias Leon seventh-inning groundout.
The Bat Cats (14-8, 13-6 Jayhawk) have completed three shutouts this summer. Great Bend plays Derby (14-7, 13-7 Jayhawk) Thursday at home and travel to Derby Saturday.
WILDCATS 7, BAT CATS 5 (G1) — Bat Cats pitcher Carson Umphres cruised through five innings while Great Bend built a 5-1 lead.
The Rose Hill Wildcats scored six runs in the final two innings to rally for a victory. Landon Haines hammered the game-winning 3-run homer to shock the Bat Cats 7-5.
Reed Haneberg doubled and Austin Selenke homered to chase Umphrey after 61/3 innings and 102 pitches. Jackson Ellison and Josh Donna tagged reliever Daxton Minton for back-to-back singles. After a foul ball, Haines ripped the game-winning homer to ignite a wild Wildcat celebration.
Kyle Walker scored on T.J. Shaw's first-inning groundout. Sam Soderstrom doubled home Ellison for a 1-1 tie.
Shaw's single scored Peanut Brazzle to ignite a 4-run third inning. Walker and Elias Leon scored on Andrugh Yee's groundout. Yee scored on Luke Nohinek's single for a 5-1 lead.
Haines tripled and scored on Soderstrom's sacrifice fly ball in the sixth inning.
Rose Hill reliever Holman shut out the Bat Cats for 41/3 innings with six strikeouts. Holman stranded Logan Ranken after a leadoff seventh-inning double.
