10 | No. 18 Breese Central | 7 | Nashville | 8 | Final |
11 | Friday’s action saw No.18 Breese Central lose a heartbreaker, falling to Nashville by a score of 8-7 in seven. Down 6-3 entering the sixth inning, Breese Central would rally for four runs to take a 7-6 lead heading into the last inning. With runners on and the game tied at seven in the bottom half Kolten Gajewski stepped to the plate for the Hornets, looking to end a hitless day and send his team home with a W. Finally on a 1-2 count the senior slugger laced a single, to walk the game off in dramatic fashion. Seniors Michael Combs (2-4, 2 R, 3 RBI) and Ian Blazier (2-2, 3 R, 2 BB) came up big for Nashville when it counted, each recording multiple hits and scoring multiple runs in support of junior Kaden Linkey’s effort on the hill (5 IP, 9 H, 5 R, 4 ER, 2 K, 2 BB). Despite the loss, Breese Central can find solace in the performances of Seniors Dalton Boruff (2-3, 2 R, 3 RBI, 2 HR) and Easton Rakers (3-4, R, RBI). The Cougars will look to bounce back Sunday in a non-conference matchup with Lincoln. | ||||
