Parkland High School Baseball

Adam Mellinger led off the home half of the first inning with a double and scored on Will Algard’s single, putting the Trojans up 1-0 after one inning.  That would be the only run scored by either team until the Hornets evened the score at 1-1 in the top of the 5^th inning.

The Trojans regained the lead in the bottom of the 5^th when Alex Oliver reached base on a Hornet error. Pinch runner, Anderson Hummer swiped second base, advanced to third on a groundout, and scored on a wild pitch for the 2-1 lead.

The Trojans got a more comfortable lead in the bottom of the 6^th inning courtesy of walks by Algard, Ethan Russell and Dylan Miller.  The walks, combined with two wild pitches advanced the runners and scored pinch runner Joe Webber.  With two on and no outs, Justin Petrisko doubled, driving in Russell and Miller.  Petrisko moved to third on yet another wild pitch and scored the final run on Oliver’s sac fly.

Will Algard (6IP, 1R, 3H) and Mark Leiby (1IP, 1H) shared the pitching duties.
