After defeating Kerrville Tivy in a close game last Tuesday, the Champion baseball team tangled with the Antlers again on Saturday and Tivy was able to return the favor and defeat the Chargers in a close contest.
Tivy took Saturday’s contest, moved back a couple of days because of the weather, 3-1.
The Chargers dropped to 18-7-1 overall and 5-3 in district. They began a series with Pieper this week and were at home Tuesday and visit Pieper on Friday.
Kerrville took the early lead with a single run in the second inning for the 1-0 lead. It stayed that way until the Chargers tied it in the fourth inning.
Evan Kuhl doubled and then moved to third on a Cam Logan ground out. From there Gage Goldberg brought in Kuhl on a sacrifice fly to right field to tie it up at 1-1.
Tivy broke the tie in the seventh with a pair of runs. A single, a dropped third strike, two walks and a sac fly pushed in the two Kerrville runs to put them ahead, 3-1.
Champion had one last chance in the bottom of the seventh to tie or win it but couldn’t score any runs despite getting two runners on base after Grant Kinzel singled and Ethan Harrison walked.
The Chargers only had 3 hits in the game, the double from Kuhl and singles from Logan and Kinzel. Harrison did walk three times for Champion.
Jackson Melanson went 6.1 innings on the mound and gave up 6 hits, only 1 earned run, 3 walks and fanned 11 batters. Aidan Smith threw in the game and didn’t give up a hit, walk or run and walked 1, while recording 2 outs.
