Another Late Inning Rally, Parkland Beats Easton 8-6

Posted by John Rabasco on May 08 2011 at 05:00PM PDT in 2019 Varsity

For the second consecutive game, the Parkland Trojans rallied in the final inning of the game to come from behind and win, this time beating Easton 8-6.  The Trojans were down 4-2 early in the game, but got an RBI single from Ryan Sutovich to cut the lead to 4-3, then Nick Rabasco drove in the tying run with an RBI single.  The Trojans were then down again, 6-4, going into the top of the 7th.  With two outs and Sutovich on first base with a walk, the Trojans scored 4 runs to take the 8-6 lead.  Ben Breiner was hit by a pitch, then DC Castillo singled to load the bases.  Damon Muth tied the game with a 2-RBI single.  A pass ball then allowed the go-ahead run to score and Dan Shaw added an insurance run with an RBI double.  Tyler Cooperman worked 6 innings on the mound for the Trojans and Adam Fye came on in the 7th to close it out for the 8-6 victory.

Exciting comeback results in 11th straight win for Parkland JV:  A scheduling goof up had the Easton Red Rovers coming for a night game, leaving the Trojans waiting 3 extra hours to start the game....Once it began, freshman, Zach Miiller threw a gem of a game. Through 5 innings he kept his no hitter intact and Parkland held a 4-0 lead.  Parkland got on the board with a Mike Cara RBI single in the 2nd inning.  Parkland kept the pressure on during the early innings with hits by Nate Case (1B), Aidan Flynn (2-1B), Adam Schneck (1B), Jake Gottwald (2B) and rbi's by Jordan Jones and Hudson Rabenold.  Entering the top of the 7th up 4-2, Miiller walked the first batter and Chad Cury came in to relieve. The Rovers bats got hot and put 6 runs on the board, as the inning ended with Case coming in to close the inning.  Down 8-4, the streak looked in jeopardy, but the Rovers starting pitcher got pulled after walking the leadoff batter to start the bottom of the inning.  His replacement then proceeded to walk the bases loaded and record one out.  A misplayed ball by the LF put another man on base.  After another pitching change, catchers interference on batter Case brought home the 5th run.  A hard hit ball and an error by the Easton SS, resulted in 2 more runs to cut the deficit to 8-7.  A passed ball tied the game at 8 and a hit batter once again loaded the bases with 2 outs.  Rabenold stepped to the plate and calmly scorched a line drive deep to right field and over the fielders head as the winning run crossed the plate and the Trojans celebrated an improbable 9-8 victory.
