Seven games in seven days can be rough on a high school baseball team, but the Bellmont Braves scored a nice little victory Wednesday night at Woodlan to stop a two-game skid, beating the Warriors, 7-5. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Braves had a two-run rally in the first and scored three more in the fourth to take control of the game with Matthew Bleeke on the mound. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Layne LeMaster started the rally in the first with a double, then the Braves played small ball to score their pair of runs – one with a sacrifice fly and another on a wild pitch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bleeke then settled in and set down nine of the first eleven batters he faced, sending the Braves into that fourth inning with their 2-0 lead intact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In their fourth-inning rally, Cam Friedt led off the Braves’ inning with a single and he took third on a double by Kaigan Lee. Gavin Krull and Will Franze kept the train moving with RBI singles, pushing the lead to five. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bleeke got a big strikeout to limit Woodlan to two runs in the bottom of the inning and he induced a groundout to escape the fifth with the same amount of damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Braves gave Bleeke insurance in the top of the seventh with the second double of the contest by LeMaster and a big two-run double by Lee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Woodlan did claw back with one run in the bottom of the final inning, but the infield made the big play, ending the game with a double play, doubling off a runner at second base. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bleeke finished the night with seven hits allowed across his seven innings, with four of the five runs being earned. He did not walk a batter and struck out five. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
