The South Adams Starfires entered Thursday’s ACAC contest without a varsity win going all the way back to Tax Day in mid-April. Heading into the sixth inning at Southern Wells, it appeared they were destined for another loss, trailing 6-4. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jax Wanner and Kane Sturwold had other ideas, however, teaming up to knock off the Raiders with a late-game comeback and a 12-6 victory. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With two outs in the top of the sixth, the Stars started a rally, putting two runners on for Wanner. Jax tied the game at 6-6 with a double to center, scoring both runners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

South Adams kept on scoring, hitting the ball hard and forcing Southern Wells into defensive errors. They went into the bottom of the sixth with an 11-6 lead. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kane Sturwold then entered the game at pitcher and pitched two perfect innings to end the Stars’ slump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Derek Weaver was the starter for the Stars. He struck out seven and allowed six runs (three earned). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wyatt Yoder was saddled with the L in relief. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
