OHS baseball notches season with 15-8 record
The Oakwood High School baseball team began tournament play on Wednesday against a familiar opponent, the Valley View Spartans. The Jacks had previously lost twice this season to the Spartans, most recently just five days earlier by a score of 5-4. In this seesaw battle, Oakwood drew first blood in the opening frame, as Justin Reeder singled and scored on Scott Harman’s RBI double. Connor Charbat hit a solo home run in the second, but Valley View wiggled out of a bases-loaded jam to hold the Oakwood lead at 2-0.
In the top of the third, left fielder Colin Morris put on a defensive show by cutting down a Spartan hitter trying to stretch a single into a double, then ending the inning with a diving catch. Valley View struck for three runs in the fourth off Oakwood starter Tyler Philo and threatened to do more damage, but a perfect relay from center fielder Charbat to shortstop Harman to third baseman Reeder nipped a Spartan baserunner at third, and Valley View took a 3-2 lead into the bottom of the fourth. The Jacks answered back with two of their own in their half of the inning as Trent Jervis scored on Harman’s single and Kyle Kissock scored on Tony Lamb’s groundout. Charbat struck again in the fifth by crushing a two-run bomb with Morris aboard to extend Oakwood’s lead to 6-3. But Valley View came roaring back in the sixth with two runs to cut the lead to one, and after the Spartans worked out of a bases-loaded jam in the bottom of the sixth, they came to bat in the seventh trailing by a run.
After Philo walked the leadoff batter, Coach Nathan Hyatt went to the bullpen and summoned sophomore Hank Beasore to put out the fire. Beasore quickly coaxed a ground ball to force the runner at second for the first out. Then, after a Spartan single, the Jacks ended the game with a 6-4-3 double play. Charbat led the way offensively for the Jacks, going two-for-two with two homers. Morris had three hits, followed by Harman with two hits and a pair of RBIs. Philo picked up the win on the mound, while Beasore notched the save.
On Friday, Monroe’s field was unplayable so the game was moved to Oakwood with Monroe as the home team. This was the third year in a row that the two teams had met in the tournament. Two years ago, Monroe beat the Jacks in the District Finals, and last year, Oakwood bounced the Hornets from the tournament. This time, Monroe scored early off starter Ben Roess to take a big lead. The Hornets scored on a two-out, two-run homer in the first, then added another in the second. Oakwood cut the lead to 3-1 in the top of the third, as Ian Munn scored on Harman’s RBI single, but Monroe took advantage of some defensive lapses to notch three more in the bottom of the third. Only a perfect throw from Charbat to cut down a Hornet baserunner at the plate prevented more damage in the inning. Facing a 6-1 deficit in the fourth, the
Jacks pushed across five unearned runs, as Charbat reached on an error, Munn walked, and Kissock and Reeder hit back-to-back singles, bringing Harman to the plate with the bases loaded. Harman promptly launched a 1-0 pitch for his second grand slam of the season, knotting the score at 6-6. An inning-opening single in the bottom of the inning brought Beasore in from the Oakwood bullpen, and he got three quick outs to end the threat. However, two walks, two singles, and a sacrifice fly plated two Hornet runs in the fifth. The Jacks came up in the top of the seventh needing two runs to keep the season alive. Philo blasted a one-out solo home run to cut the deficit to 8-7, but Monroe’s pitcher McElroy retired the final two Oakwood hitters to close the deal. McElroy went the distance for the Hornets, striking out 14 Lumberjack hitters, while allowing six hits. Harman had a monster game at the plate for the Jacks, with two hits and five RBIs. Kissock’s two hits, and Philo’s dinger provided additional offensive help.
Oakwood finishes with an impressive 15-8 record in a season that many had written off as a rebuilding year for Hyatt in his first year at the helm.
