Hugo splits games during three-way outing

Hugo spring baseball
Wednesday, 16 March 2011 19:37
By Justin Miller Sports Editor Tanner Armor threw a gem of a game, Haworth beat Antlers in extra innings and Hugo’s bats were cold from start to finish as the Buffs hosted a “three-way” slate of games on Tuesday. Game one featured Antlers against Hugo in a beautiful display of pitching for both teams. Antlers held Hugo to one run on four hits for the game. The Buffs struck out six times in 16 at-bats, but managed to score Andre Rangel in the fourth inning when the center fielder dropped a ball with Rangel on third base. Jeff Fitzpatrick reached first on the error, and the Buffs were in business. Tanner Armor pitched one of the best games of the season, throwing a complete-game shutout over five innings. He allowed four hits, but struck out eight and walked none en route to the 1-0 victory. As the sun continued to warm the field, Antlers took the field against Haworth for the second game of the afternoon. With the score tied 1-1 after five, the teams went into extra innings. Antlers finally got the bats going in the top of the seventh inning, scoring four runs with some excellent baserunning and good timing. Haworth had men on base in the bottom of the frame, but with two outs, the game seemed out of reach. A double drove in two runs, making the score 5-3. A pair of singles scored another and put runners at second and third with an error. A cracking double that soared over the centerfielder’s head and off the wall scored two more and Haworth rallied in the bottom of the seventh to beat Antlers, 6-5. Coming off the win, the Lions turned to play the Buffaloes. Josh Leivas came home in the bottom of the first to get Hugo on the scoreboard. Leivas was hit by a pitch, stole a base, advanced on a wild pitch and scored on a wild pitch. Jeff Fitzpatrick walked later in the inning. Unfortunately, that was the last time a Buffalo reached base. Haworth got to Leivas in the third, scoring several runs with a battery of hits. Coach Jimmy Wyrick pulled Leivas with one out in the top of the fifth. The score was 8-1 with men on second and third. Fitzpatrick came on to pitch. He immediately gave up a double that scored two Lions, adding to Leivas’ already inflated ERA. Fitzpatrick then buckled down and struck out two batters to advance to the bottom of the inning. Hugo’s bats remained icey in the last frame. Corey James grounded out to the first baseman, Weston Bates flew out to the center fielder and Chayse Cummins struck out looking to end the ball game. Hugo managed one run on no hits in 16 at-bats with one walk. Leivas threw four and one-third innings, giving up eight hits and ten runs, eight of them earned. He walked three and hit three batters.

Harber finishes fifth in state tournament

Golf
Thursday, 12 May 2011 15:18
By Justin Miller Sports Editor Zac Harber finished Tuesday’s round of golf with a total score of 228 (76-74-78). Harber was competing in the state high school golf tournament in Perkins, Okla. The showing earned the Hugo sophomore fifth place in the field and a trip to play in the “All-Star Classic” in Del Cityover Memorial Day weekend. “He’d probably be All-State material next year,” coach Jim Schutts said. “He’s certainly capable.” Tishomingo, Heritage Hall and Plainview took the top three spots in the team competition. Both Zac and his father, Jimmy, seemed slightly disappointed with the finish. “He striped that tee ball all day long,” said the elder Harber. “He had a chance.” Treg Buchanan, of Antlers High School, will also be competing in the All-Star Classic. He finished with a 232 (76-73-83) to earn a tie for seventh place.

Thursday, 12 May 2011 15:11
By Justin Miller Sports Editor After falling to Smithville 12-4 in regional playoff action on Thursday, Fort Towson was back to play the Braves with a game against Rattan waiting on the winner. Dillon Stewart shut down Smithville from the mound, allowing just one run on two hits over the course of seven innings. Fort Towson won 5-1. Stewart struck out seven and walked one. His defense committed five errors, including two strikeouts that were erased when Jake Teague failed to throw out the runner on a dropped strike three. Cade Clay, Derek Payne, Corey Martin and Lane Day all drove in runs for the Tigers. Cade, Payne, Martin and Bubba Penson scored the five runs. Martin, celebrating a birthday, scored twice. After the last batter struck out for Smithville, the Tigers got a short break before playing Rattan. Fort Towson would have to win twice against the Rams to advance to state. Rattan needed only one win. The Rams got all the runs they needed in the first inning, eventually winning 18-4. Jake Teague was on the mound for the Tigers in the first inning. The first four batters for Rattan scored. The fifth was retired on a fielder’s choice when he was thrown out at third. The Rams continued to bat around, clearing the entire lineup. The first six batters got to hit twice, with a pop-up to center field finally ending the inning with Teague surrendering nine runs. He faced 15 batters and allowed six hits. Derek Payne got the nod in the second. He fared only marginally better, allowing six runs while facing 10 batters. Bubba Penson finally locked things down for a couple of innings in the third and fourth, allowing three runs on three hits. Fort Towson was anemic at the plate, managing just four hits while striking out seven times. They drew four walks. When the run rule took effect in the fifth inning, the Rams celebrated their state berth by dumping a water cooler on their coach and posing for photographs.

The heat pushed the thermometer well past the 100 degree mark as Achille arrived to take on Boswell in a softball showdown Aug. 19.

With the temperature spiking, the two teams battled in a high-scoring game that left both defenses exhausted and baking in the field. Boswell conquered the Golden Eagles, 25-15 in four innings.

Achille looked likely to take an easy win after they opened a 6-0 lead in the top of the first inning.

Boswell responded in the bottom of the frame with seven runs to take a one-run lead.

After Achille scored two more to retake the lead, Boswell opened it up with eight runs.

With the score at 15-8, the girls let Achille back into it by surrendering five more runs.

With a chance to win the game via the run rule, Boswell came up just short. The Scorps scored eight runs in the bottom of the third, making the score 23-13.

Achille picked up two more in the top of the fourth, but Boswell scored Stacee Bacon on an error and Paige Shults knocked in Madison Cress with a walk-off triple to end the game.

Every Scorpion that played in the game scored.

Madison Cress scored four times, while Dyani Reece, Stacee Bacon, Paige Shults, Jonna Belvin, Sarah Blankenship and Brenna Poe each scored three times. Chelsea Burns and Courtney Fomby each scored once.

Fomby also led the team with four RBIs. Bacon knocked in three batters.

Junior varsity handles Achille, 11-10

After the marathon varsity game ended, the teams took a well-deserved break before retaking the field in a junior varsity game. Both teams agreed to play the “three runs / three outs” format.

It was again Paige Shults lifting the team to a win with a walk-off in the fifth inning. This time, Shults was scoring the run. The game winner came on a wild pitch to Sarah Blankenship with one out in the final frame. Shults scampered home and the game belonged to the Scorpions.

Dyani Reece, Stacee Bacon, Shults and Brenna Poe each scored twice for Boswell.

Courtney Fomby, Chelsea Burns and Madison Cress each came home once. Erica VanFossen had a sacrifice in the fourth.

Bacon was a home run shy of the cycle.
