HOME OF THE AMERICAN RIVER COLLEGE BEAVERS

Beavers drop ball, game 2 in 10 innings

Beavers drop ball, game 2 in 10 innings

 

American River College came back from down 3-1 with two runs in the top of the 9th inning to send the game into extra innings but lost when LF Blake Spencer (Rio Americano) couldn't come up with the catch on a two out fly ball to left which allowed the winning run to score from 2nd at Santa Rosa on Thursday.  Freshman Lane Field (Whitney) had two hits and drove in a pair of runs to go along with three walks on the day.  He drove in the first run of the game, a two out double to right center in the 3rd inning to score C Nick Huddlestun (Rocklin).  Then, with the Beavers trailing 3-1 in the 9th RF Justin Bejarano (Elk Grove) singled home CF Logan Hall (Oakdale) with two outs, who had walked to lead off the inning.  2B Christian Murua (Grant) followed with a single to right to send Bejarano to 3rd, then Field came up with the clutch single to right on a 2-1 pitch for his 2nd RBi of the game.  Freshman Collin Carriger (Bella Vista) started on the mound for the Beavers and went 5 2/3 innings allowing just 2 runs.  Freshman RHP Austin Jacobs (River City) finished up the 6th inning and pitched the 7th and 8th, allowing an unearned run in the 8th.  Sophomore Freddy May (Folsom) was the hard luck loser of the game as he should have gotten out of the 10th but with two outs and runners at 1st and 2nd Spencer couldn't make the catch in left and the winning run scored unearned. 

The two teams will finish their series on Friday at A.R.C. at 2:30.  The game was originally scheduled to be on Saturday but is getting moved up to Friday to beat the incoming rain this weekend.
