By Staff Reports
Wednesday, May 20, 2009 | No comments posted.
Bandon finished a strong second half of the Sunset Conference baseball season with a 13-9 win over visiting Gold Beach on Tuesday.
The Tigers, who started 0-4 in league play, won eight of their final 10 games to tie Myrtle Point for second at 8-6.
Those two teams play at Myrtle Point on Thursday with a spot in the state playoffs on the line. The winner will be in the postseason and also get a shot at runner-up Cascade Christian for the No. 2 seed.
In Tuesday’s win, the Tigers overcame a 5-2 deficit by scoring five runs in the fifth inning and six more in the sixth on a combination of walks, extra-base hits and Gold Beach errors.
“It was a good combination for us,” said Bandon coach Gary Chrismon.
Jimmy Mack finished 2-for-3 with three runs scored, Timmy Young also was 2-for-3 and drove in two runs. Austin Robinett had a two-run double and an RBI groundout.
Gold Beach also had a solid hitting day. Todd Martin was 3-for-3 and scored twice, while Brodey Carpenter was 2-for-3 and had two runs. Travis Smith had three hits and five RBIs and Garrett Hoffman had two hits and drove in two runs.
Bandon and Myrtle Point split their two games during the season, but the Bobcats will host Thursday’s game because they were the only team to beat league-champion Rogue River.
Still, Chrismon is excited that his young team has a chance.
“I’m really happy for our guys,” he said.
