RATTAN – The Hugo Buffaloes charged through the mud and rain – even an on-field, in-game lightning strike – and came out on top Monday as 2009 district champions!
Now Coach Waymon Potts is hoping the district crown can serve as a lightning rod for a deeper run through the playoffs.
Hugo met Madill for the tiebreaking game on the only playable field within 100 miles. Several days of rain have left most Oklahoma baseball fields too soggy for play. Buffalo announcer Ronnie Beasley offered a special and well deserved postgame thank you to Rattan Public Schools for use of their field.
The final score, a 21-4 decision in six innings, doesn’t do justice for the game these teams played. It wasn’t quite the nail-biter classic Soper and Crowder put on Friday, but it was every bit as interesting.
After last week’s game two throttling of the Buffs at the hands of the Madill Wildcats, a three-run homer in the first inning was not what Hugo needed. Trevor Raper’s shot put the Cats ahead 3-0 early in the game, but it was only one of three hits Dustin Armor allowed before he relaxed a bit in the sixth inning.
But there would be plenty more home runs – all by the Buffaloes. Colby Raper’s solo shot got things started in the third. Ryan Debo hit a three-run blast moments later to put Hugo up for good 4-3.
Madill threatened to tie the game in the bottom of the third, but a patented Buff double play and a nice grab by Brian Holbrook down the left field line kept the Cats away. Dustin Armor’s fourth-inning RBI put Hugo ahead 5-3 and turned out to be the game winning run.
Suddenly, out of partly cloudy and rain-free skies, a bolt of lightning struck very near the playing field. Players, coaches and umpires scattered for shelter, and play was stopped for about five minutes. But afterward, only distant thunder was heard.
Play resumed, despite a moderate downpour which turned the infield to slop. Later in the game, the skies turned mostly blue with clouds visible on the horizon – and still it rained.
As if the Buffaloes needed any more divine intervention, it kept coming. A five-run fifth inning, sparked by Holbrook’s solo home run, put Hugo ahead 12-3 after five. The celebration may have started a bit prematurely, as we were all reminded the run rule is “10 after five,” not nine.
Hugo recorded nine runs in the sixth off of Madill’s depleted pitching roster, capped by a three-run blast over the fence by Colby Raper. Players from both teams named Raper (an old English translation of “ropemaker,” by the way) hit three-run homers in this game; a feat likely never before seen in the annals of baseball.
In the end, every member of the Buffalo lineup either hit, scored, or plated a run. And every one of them deserves credit for a remarkable season... so far. |
