Gordon Lee closes week on 4-game streak
The Gordon Lee Trojans led 8-1, but had to hang on to pick up an 8-6 victory at Ringgold last Monday night.
The Trojans racked up three doubles as part of a three-run first inning. Kade Cowan had the initial two-bag knock and, following a walk, Cade Peterson delivered a Rbi-double before Blake Rodgers drove in two with the third double of the frame.
Brody Cobb had a sacrifice fly in the second and Gordon Lee would add four more runs to their side of the scoreboard in the fourth. A balk with the bases loaded brought in the first run, Peterson recorded a two-run single and Rodgers added an Rbi-single to make it 8-1.
The Tigers clawed their way back to make it a two-run game and they brought the tying run to the plate in the bottom of the seventh. However, reliever Bo Rhudy got a pair of strikeouts and a fly ball to end the game.
Rhudy pitched 1.1 innings to record the save, striking out three and allowing a hit and a walk. Jake Poindexter threw the first four innings to get the win. He gave up two runs — one earned — on four hits and three walks with four strikeouts. Tanner Wilson also pitched 1.2 innings, surrendering four earned runs on two hits and three walks with a pair of strikeouts.
Peterson finished 3 for 4 with three RBIS and two runs scored, while Rodgers had two hits, a walk and three RBIS. Cowan went 2 for 5 as the trio accounted for seven of Gordon Lee’s nine hits.
Gordon Lee 13, Ringgold 3
The two teams completed the home-and-home series Friday night in Chickamauga and it was the Trojans scoring four times in the bottom of the fifth inning and adding six more an inning later
