Baseball Holds Off in the 7th
The Rocket Baseball Team went into the 1st round of Regionals as the 7th seed squaring off against the 2nd seeded Andover Trojans. With a win the Rockets will advance on in the semi-finals, and with a lose they will pack up and head home. With that in mind the Rockets jumped out to an early 5-0 lead in the first two innings. But Andover wasn't going to let their season slip that easily as they narrowed the score 5-3 in the 5th inning. Junior Austin walls would hit a grounder, sending senior Chase Ozbun sliding into home plate for the Rockets 6th run. With the score sitting at 6-3 in the bottom of the 7th inning, all the Rockets had to do was hold the Trojans. Allowing 2 runs in the 7th inning, the Rockets cut it close but held onto the lead, grabbing a 1st round upset over the Trojans 6-5. The Rockets will advance to the Semi-Finals starting at 4:30 on Wednesday. |
