Chesnee baseball picked up their ninth straight win as they downed county foe Broome 11-8 on Wednesday night.
"I'm proud of how they kept battling,” said Chesnee head coach Scott Wease. “Even when we got down by five they handled their business and pulled out the win. They could've folded early but they didn't." Broome scored a pair of runs in the top of the first inning as Braxtin Turner scored on a error and Adam Stacy drove in a run on a sacrifice fly. The Centurions tacked on another run in the second inning as Dalton Crawford drove in a run before adding two more runs in the top of the third inning as Tristan Horne collected a RBI on a bases loaded walk and Shane Blackwood also drove in a run. Chesnee responded in impressive fashion as they sent eleven batters to the plate while scoring six runs in the bottom of the third inning to take a 6-5 lead. Ethan Lawson drew a bases loaded walk to score the first run while Elijah Wease, who entered as a courtesy runner for Lawson, later scored on a double steal. Davis Rising and Luke Hollifield each came up with big hits in the inning as the each came away with two RBI doubles. Broome retook the lead as both Braxtin Turner and Jeb Dawson drove in a run in the top of the fourth inning. The Eagles had another explosive inning in the fifth inning as they added five more runs to retake the lead over the Centurions. Chesnee used heads up base running in the inning as Cole Hoskyns collected the lone RBI of the inning for the Eagles. Michael Paslawski stole home while Luke Hollifield, Jonah Epps, and Bryson Scruggs each came around to score on Centurion errors. Broome got a run back in the top of the sixth inning on a Dylan Ramirez RBI single. The Centurions tried to plate two on the play but an excellent throw from left fielder Carson Williamson allowed catcher Ethan Lawson to apply the tag to cut down a Centurion runner. Luke Hollifield followed that stellar defensive play with one of his own as he made a diving grab of a liner that seemed destined for a base hit. "It swung the momentum in our favor and kept a run off the board,” said Wease. “It's always good to see the guys make a great play and the team get excited about it." The Eagles will be back in action on Thursday as they host St Josephs with a 7:30 PM scheduled first pitch. Comments are closed.
