10.26.2012

The Black squad won game 2 of the Owls Series 7-2 to knot up the best of seven series at one game apiece. The Thursday afternoon matchup pitted transfer, junior, right-handed pitchers, BJ Wilson (Willamina, OR) versus Talon Sisley (Covington, WA) for the black team.

The scoring started in the 5^th inning as the Black squad hit back to back doubles by Tyler Conklin (Jr, Newport, OR) and Kyle Seutter (Jr, Klamath Falls) which plated a run. In the bottom half of the 5^th the Gold team answered back with a run of their own as a two out single by Spencer Reed (Jr, Spring Valley, CA) scored Dylan Rogers (Jr, Las Vegas, NV) who earlier doubled to lead off the inning. A long drive to left by Derek Gummersall (Jr, Pocatello, ID) was caught by Marty Shanks (Jr, Reno, NV) on a nice catch as he crashed into the wall for the final out of the inning and preserved the 1-1 tie.

The Black team jumped ahead for good in the sixth as Shanks stroked a one out double which was followed by a run scoring single by Ryan Hayden (Jr, Grants Pass, OR). Hayden then scored on a 2 out double by Aaron Bocchi (Jr, Klamath Falls) before Wilson could get out of the inning.

The Gold team would cut the deficit by a run in the bottom of the 7^th as Spencer Reed added his second RBI of the game by doubling in Dylan Rogers. Neither team managed any offense in the 8^th, setting up a 3-2 Black team lead heading into the ninth.

The Black team’s bats came alive in the top of the 9^th as Ryan Hayden opened the frame with a solo homer over the leftfield fence and after a walk and a Tyler Conklin double, Kyle Seutter launched a three run homerun to extend the lead to 7-2.

Talon Sisley finished off the Gold squad without incident in the bottom half of the inning to pick up the complete game victory by only allowing 4 hits and 2 runs.

Tyler Conklin, Ryan Hayden, Kyle Seutter, Dylan Rogers and Spencer Reed all collected two hits on the afternoon. Seutter led all batters with 4 RBI.
