Jr. Prep Baseball
The FUMA Jr. Prep baseball won an exciting game against Collegiate on a beautiful spring afternoon. The Blue Devils overcame many tough situations and battled a very good Collegiate team through 9 hard fought innings. Andrew Stout went the mandatory 7 innings only giving up four runs. After Collegiate broke a 1-1 tie in the bottom of the 5th, the Blue Devils decided to give the home team some fireworks. The Blue Devils tied the game at four a piece in their top half of the seventh inning, and then put forth a tremendous display of team defense to shut out the Cougars in the bottom half of the seventh. With bases loaded and no-outs, all the Cougars needed was one run to win the game, but consecutive force outs at home allowed John Malley to toss the third out of the inning to Robert Shermer to end Collegiate's chances in the seventh.
The Blue Devils then scored a run in the 8th inning just to see Collegiate match them in the bottom half of the inning. After scoring one run in the top half of the 9th to make the score 6-5, the visiting team looked to their defense and Ron Berscak, on the mound, to seal their fate. Berscak faced the meat of the Cougars line-up, but the defense was set to back him up and back him up they did. FUMA set their three, four, and five hitters down 1-2-3. The Blue Devils were paced at the plate by Rob Shermer's triple and two singles, Justin Fregeau's two singles, and singles by Tanner Clements, Tyler Jackson, and Kyle Andrews. Bryn Barham scored two runs for the visiting Blue Devils as well. Andrew Stout pitched a very strong 7 innings for the win and Ron Berscak tossed two tough innings for the save. FUMA plays at home Friday April 21 vs. Christchurch.
