WL-B vs. Athens          Send a link to a friend

[August 15, 2007]  West Lincoln-Broadwell started well and finished poorly in both games against Athens on Monday, losing 12-6 and 16-7.

In the first game, Jake Olson (0-1) was the tough-luck losing pitcher, allowing only two earned runs in four-plus innings of work.

The Wolverines took a tie game into the fifth inning, when fielding errors and walks put the game out of reach.

Olson had the only extra-base hit, a double. Joey Olden, Hayden Matson, Dane Eimer, Chanse Hoagland and Jordan Yarcho all had hits for WL-B.

In the second game, WLB let a 6-2 lead slip away as Athens scored nine times in the final inning to win going away.

Yarcho pitched three innings and was not involved in the decision. Levi Curry (0-1) took the loss on the mound.

Sam Tiffany was 3-for-3 with two runs scored and three RBIs. Yarcho and Braden Curry had two hits each, and Yarcho's triple was the only extra-base hit of the game. Olden, L. Curry and Brian Cade also had hits for the Wolverines.

WL-B will host Greenview in a 4:15 p.m. game on Wednesday.
