Lanier High Baseball: Recaps: 3KEY ERRORS DOOM LANIER IN LOSS TO CLINCH!
LANIER STAYED WITHIN STRIKING DISTANCE WITH CLINCH FOR 5 INNINGS BEFORE 1 BIG ERROR ALLOWED THE PANTHERS TO STRETCH A 4-2 LEAD TO 7-2 . LANIER'S ASHLEY COOPER HAD WHAT SEEMED TO BE A SURE OUT AND OUT OF THE INNING AS A CLINCH BATTER HIT A COMEBACKER TO HIM WITH RUNNERS ON 2ND AND 3RD. HE TURNED TO THROW TO THE 3B WHO NEVER COVERED 3RD AND THE THROW ZOOMED IN TO FOUL TERRITORY. LANIER'S BULLPEN FLOUNDERED THE LAST 2INNINGS ALLOWING 3 HITS AND 4 WALKS. STARTER ASHLEY COOPER THREW 5 INNING ON 2 DAYS REST ALLOWING 5 HITS AND 3 EARNED RUNS. CHRIS STUDSTILL (2 HITS ) AND CLINCH'S RANCE MORGAN(2 HOMERUNS) WERE ONLY 2 PLAYERS WITH 2 HITS.
THERE WERE 3 CLOSE CALLS THAT WENT AGAINEST US THAT WOULD HAVE HELPED AND WE MADE THAT CRITICAL ERROR THAT COST 3 RUNS.
ALL IN ALL IT WAS A WELL PLAYED GAME AND WE JUST CAME UP SHORT!
