Chaotic Seventh Inning Gives Loggers Win\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

By Lance Jones<\/p>\n

The La Crosse Loggers were in seventh heaven when they put up six runs in the seventh inning to take control of a 12-5 victory over the Thunder Bay Border Cats. What had been a tight ball game with both teams exchanging leads prior to the seventh turned in the Loggers favour. Thunder Bay with their fifth straight loss drops to 3-12, while La Crosse leads the Great Plains East Division outright at 8-7.<\/p>\n

The Cats got off to a hot start in the first inning off of Loggers Starter Matt Kennedy (St. Joseph’s). Ryne Edmondson\u2019s (Houston Baptist)\u00a0run scoring double to left field that counted Jakob Newton (Florida Tech)\u00a0put the Cats up one. Newton was on third courtesy of a Kennedy free pass and swiping of\u00a0two bases.<\/p>\n

TJ Byrd\u2019s (Young Harris)\u00a0solo home run to left knotted the game at 1-1 in the top of the second.<\/p>\n

Bryce Jorgenson (Minnesota-Crookston)\u00a0got plunked to leadoff the second. Joe Jimenez (Chapman U.)\u00a0making his Border Cats debut would single in his first plate appearance to put two on and none out. Thomas Grilli (Panola Coll.)\u00a0rolled one to second, a potential double play ball, but the relay throw was wide of first allowing Jorgenson home to restore a Border Cat lead.<\/p>\n

Another lead that was short lived however. Levi Usher (Kirkwood CC)\u00a0mashed a two run moon ball to plate Kyson Donahue (Arizona)\u00a0and give La Crosse their first lead of the night. The Loggers would tack one more in the inning to make it 4-2.<\/p>\n

In the fourth Jorgenson would pull a Newton. Jorgenson would steal second and third to set up Grilli\u00a0who knocked him home on a single to pull Thunder Bay to within a run.<\/p>\n

Thunder Bay would then take the lead in the sixth. With the rain pelting the stadium steady and Logger reliever Marius Balandis (St. Louis)\u00a0in the game, Jake Engel (Dixie State) doubled a shot down the left field line that scored Newton and Karsten Vasquez (Sacramento City). Vazquez\u2019s double earlier in the inning extended his hitting streak to ten games. Engel’s double gave Thunder Bay a 5-4 lead.<\/p>\n

Another lead that was short lived however.\u00a0It would\u00a0be Loggers all the way from this point on. Loggers Centerfielder Usher would triple to start the inning. He would score the tying run on a follow up single by Cody Jefferis (San Diego). Pinch Hitter Cole Elvis (California)\u00a0singled and a double steal put both in scoring position with no outs in the inning. Brett Hawkins\u2019 (Young Harris)\u00a0single up the middle scored both giving La Crosse a 7-5 lead. Things would go from bad to worse for the Border Cats bullpen and defense. A collection of three errors and eight wild pitches would gift the Loggers a 10-5 lead. Usher finished the game 4-for-5 and a double short of the cycle.<\/p>\n

The Loggers never looked back and\u00a0tacked on two in the eighth for good measure with Usher and Jefferis picking up RBI\u2019s. They finished with three and two respectively on the night.<\/p>\n

Balandis (1-0) with the run support behind him shut the door on the game. He would retire ten straight after Engel\u2019s hit to end the night, picking up five strikeouts in four innings of work for the win.<\/p>\n

DJ DePiero (0-2) (Bradley)\u00a0took the loss for the Border Cats. He struck out four but allowed four earned runs on five hits and a walk.<\/p>\n

The Border Cats and Loggers play games two and three of a four game series on Wednesday. It is Weenie Wednesday with hot dogs for just $1. Game one is a school day game and will start at 11:05am. The night cap will start at 7:05pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
