Indians Baseball Wins Two More in Branson
Brian McSweeney
The Doenges Toyota Indians picked up two more wins Friday in Branson, Mo.
The Indians beat Clever, 7-0, and beat Branson in walk-off fashion, 5-4.
In the first game of the day, the Indians came to life offensively from the start. They scored at least a run in every inning.
Zane Stricklin pitched six scoreless innings, Rhett Leu finished off Clever in the seventh.
In game two, the Indians played their tightest game of the summer. Bartlesville trailed for the first inning and a half, 1-0, before tying the game on a walk. Braxten Willis gave the Indians the lead in the fourth with this single.
The lead held for a half-inning. Branson scored three runs in the top of the fifth to take a 4-2 lead. The Indians got a run back in the bottom of the fifth to make it a one-run game again.
Due to a time limit, the game only went six innings. In dramatic fashion, this 2-RBI single from Joel Perez in the bottom of the sixth won it for the Indians.
The single was Perez's only hit of the night.
The wins send the Indians to the championship pool where they will play two more games with a chance to win the tournament. The Indians will play at 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. Saturday.
Both games can be heard on KWON - AM 1400, FM 93.3 and 95.1, with a livestream available at KWONTV.com.
