Davie’s JV baseball team was blown out 8-1 at West Forsyth and it faced a 4-0 deficit in the bottom of the fifth when the Titans visited Mocksville.
Somehow, some way the War Eagles rallied to salvage a split, scoring five runs in what turned out to be the fifth and final inning due to the two-hour time limit.
West 8, Davie 1
In the CPC opener in Clemmons on March 4, Davie had as many errors (three) as hits. The Titans only managed five hits – and they were also shaky in the field with four errors – but they still won with plenty of room to spare.
Davie’s base knocks came from Easton Sanders (1-2, double, walk), Noah Potts (1-3) and Blake French (1-2, walk, two steals).
Davie 5, West 4
Three days later at home, Sanders went 2 for 2 and Davie scored five fifth-inning runs on three walks, one hit and one error to steal one from the Titans.
The winning rally began with one out in the fifth, when Tanner Steinour walked on four pitches. Then Sanders doubled, Carter Cornett walked on a fullcount pitch and Potts drew a free pass to load the bases and bring the go-ahead run to the plate. After French lofted a sac fly for the second out, Taylor hit a swinging bunt. The pitcher fielded it and threw it away as Davie tied the score at 4.
“The pitcher threw it over the first baseman’s head,” varsity coach Joey Anderson said after Davie improved to 2-3 overall. “Taylor went all the way around to third.”
The very next pitch got by the catcher and Shenberger cruised home with the winning run.
“It was big for us to come back and battle in that last inning,” Anderson said. “Time was about to expire and we took the lead in the nick of time.”
Sanders singled, doubled, walked and stole a base. Tay Settecasi went 1-2 with a walk. Potts had two walks. Davie’s third pitcher of the game had a clean inning as Cornett got three outs in nine pitches.
Davie finished with three hits and three errors. West had two hits and two errors.
