Baseball: LWC 9. Pikeville 10 Lindsey Wilson Baseball's ninth-inning rally comes up short at Pikeville, Blue Raiders fall 10-9 By Charles Balcom PIKEVILLE, KY - The Lindsey Wilson baseball team mounted a furious comeback attempt, scoring six runs in the top of the ninth, but ultimately came up one run short as the Blue Raiders fell to Pikeville 10-9 on Saturday, March 12, 2016, at Johnnie Lemaster Field. Trailing 10-3 entering the final frame, the Blue Raiders (19-7, 2-1 Mid-South Conference) refused to quit and proceeded to send 12 batters to the plate, pushing six runs across and loading the bases before a final strikeout ended the scoring barrage and the Bears (11-9, 1-2 MSC) handed the Blue Raiders their first conference loss of the year. No. 7-ranked Lindsey Wilson began the day looking for a series sweep after winning the opening two games 2-1 and 11-3 on Thursday, but a rough start put the Blue Raiders way behind early. Pikeville exploded for eight runs in the bottom of the second inning to take a commanding 8-0 lead. The Bears sent 14 batters to the plate, recording eight hits - five singles and three doubles - while adding a sacrifice fly and taking advantage of a hit by pitch, two walks, and a wild pitch to build their lead. Pikeville chased Blue Raider starter Justin Zielinski from the game after just one and 2/3 innings as he allowed seven earned runs on seven hits. Lindsey Wilson momentarily cut into the Bears' lead in the top of the fourth after Austin Atwell hit his fourth home run of the season in the form of a two-run shot to make it an 8-2 contest. But Pikeville extended the lead to 9-2 in the bottom of the fourth with an RBI single, and later pushed the lead back to eight runs after a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the fifth made it 10-2. Lindsey Wilson had trouble getting to Pikeville starter Bryce Carden all game long. Carden retired the first seven Blue Raiders of the game, faced just four batters in the third inning, five batters in the fourth, and retired Lindsey Wilson in order in both the fifth and sixth innings. The Blue Raiders pushed one run across in the top of the seventh on a Jayden Jackson single to make it a 10-3 game, chasing Carden from the game. Carden would eventually pick up the win, allowing three earned runs on five hits in six and 2/3 innings. The eighth inning went by scoreless before the Lindsey Wilson bats finally came alive and began pummeling the Pikeville pitching staff, creating the late-game drama in the top of the ninth. After Ray Gonzalez bunted for a base hit, Caleb Ratzman walked and Kory Weeks singled to load the bases with one out. Following a pitching change, Alec Salcedo beat out an infield single to score one run and keep the bases loaded. Edgar Lebron then doubled to score Ratzman and Weeks and make it a 10-6 game. Aaron Ashton drove in the next run on a sacrifice fly to make it 10-7 with two outs. Atwell followed with a single to score Lebron and cut it to a two-run game. Jan Carlos Ortiz then drew a walk, forcing Pikeville to make another pitching change. Miguel Reyes, who started the inning with a fly out, then singled to center to score Atwell from second and make it 10-9. Gonzalez drew another walk to load the bases, but the Blue Raiders were unable to push the tying run in as Ratzman struck out swinging to end the game. Zielinksi (2-2) suffered the loss while Carden earned the win and A.J. Carkner, who recorded the final out of the game for the Bears, picked up the save. Atwell and Lebron each finished with three hits as the duo combined for five RBIs. Justin Beatty led Pikeville going 4-for-5 with two RBIs. The Bears outhit Lindsey Wilson 15-13, but Pikeville left 11 runners on base compared to the Blue Raiders' eight, three of which came in the ninth inning.
