MADRID — A lopsided loss to host Madrid in five innings of WCAC baseball Tuesday followed a season-first win for Panorama Monday, with AC/GC the first victim of the 2018 campaign.[wpedon id=”82220″ align=”center”]
AC/GC (0-8, 0-6) was off to a 1-0 lead after two frames Monday, and tied the contest at 3-all with two runs in the fifth after the Panthers had plated three tallies in the bottom of third.
Panorama (1-7, 1-6) grabbed a 6-3 lead with a three-run fifth, but their guests answered with a three-run top of the sixth to once again tie the game. Five Panther runs in their ensuing at-bat pushed the scored to 11-6, with two Charger runs in the seventh not enough to alter the outcome.
Jacob Iseminger picked up the win in 3-2/3 innings on the bump. He allowed three runs (two earned) on one hit and four walks while striking out six. Hunter Holmes tossed 2-1/3 frames of relief, surrendering five runs (three earned) on five hits and three walks while fanning five. Iseminger hit two batters with pitches and Holmes plunked four.
Luke South doubled and scored off a Koltin Sloss hit in the third, with Iseminger and, later, Dominic Walker, both driving in runs. Two walks, an error and a RBI-double produced the three-run fifth for the hosts.
A South double started the five-run sixth, with Iseminger driving him home. Preston Walker later drew a bases-loaded walk to bring home a run, with a two-run pinch-hit single from Kade Arganbright capping the rally.
Tanner Godfrey had a hit and two runs, with Levi Richer and Noah Kirtley adding base hits in the victory.
Panorama was off to a 5-0 lead at Madrid Tuesday, bu the Tiger scored nine times in the third to grab a four-run lead. The Panthers were not impressed, and quickly responded with four tallies to knot the score at 9-all.
Unfortunately, the hosts scored once in their half of the fourth to take a 10-9 lead, then ended the game early by scoring nine more runs in the fifth.
South started and went 4-1/3 off the hill, surrendering 15 runs on 14 hits and a walk while striking out one. Preston Walker recorded one out while yielding four runs on two hits, four walks and a hit batsman. Six of the runs off South and all four off Walker were unearned.
Landon Klatt had three hits and scored four times, with Eli Greufe adding two hits for the Tigers. Bryce Dean smacked three doubles and a single while scoring three times, with Logan Wicker providing three singles and a double.
South led Panorama with two singles, a double and two RBIs, with Iseminger recording a single and a double while Godfrey and Steve Soreide both had two singles and a RBI. Preston Walker and Arganbright each had a single and a double, with Walker driving in three runs while Sloss and Richey also had RBIs.
Panorama hosts Earlham Monday, visits AC/GC Tuesday and then plays a varsity doubleheader at Woodward-Granger June 14.
