Virginia High took a wild 12-11 comeback win over Sullivan East. The two
teams combined for twenty-six hits to score twenty-three runs. VHS
trailed by a score of 11-6 going into the bottom of the fourth and
managed to shave the lead by scoring a run. VHS kept the Patriots at bay
and chipped away with a pair of runs in the fifth to creep back in
range. In the sixth, VHS put together three hits and took advantage of a
pair of errors to take the lead and the win. Designated hitter Brent
Davenport helped keep the Bearcats going with a four for five night with
four RBI's. Davenport stood at the plate with the score tied in the
bottom of the sixth and a runner at third. Already four for four, the
Patriots missed their chance to end the inning when Davenport's grounder
to second was thrown away allowing the Bearcats to take the lead. Hunter
Greer also performed well at the plate with a three for four night
including a triple, two singles, one RBI and scoring three runs on the
bases. Zak Messer, Willie Oakes, Preston Smith and Tyler Arnold all had
two hits. Messer earned the win on the mound in relief.
