The Grizzlies have Thursday, April 26 lost to the Spartans five times this season and looked like they could go 0-6 against Strathmore after falling behind 4-1 in the top of the sixth. But Granite Hills wasn’t ready to hang their hats and they loaded the bases in the bottom of the inning by reaching on a walk, an error and a hitby-pitch with Jason Alvarez, Randy Leon and Bedolla, respectively. All three scored on basesloaded walks to tie the game.

The Grizzlies were dealt six walks and had just four hits. Alvarez and Bedolla scored two runs apiece with Alvarez recording a hit. Leon also had an RBI.

“It’s discouraging to lose a game like this today,” SHS head coach Thad Reece said. “We had a [three] run lead and then we started walking the world and you can’t walk and let a team get back in the game, especially when they’re a rival.”

Jordan Flores took the win on the mound for the Grizzlies after going 2 2/3 innings in relief. Flores gave up no runs on three strikeouts, three intentional walks and two hits. Bedolla had the start on the mound and went 5 1/3 innings with four runs allowed on five strikeouts, four walks and three hits. Both coaches spoke about how well the two pitched with Reece saying he “tipped his hat” to the two for throwing strikes and getting ahead in the count while Garcia commended the two for throwing their off-speed pitches well.

For Strathmore, William Reece and Arley Landis had two hits each and both Alex Barnes and Jacob Flores had RBIS. Lindsay 15 Woodlake 4
