Too close for comfort
6/12/2013
It had been nearly four hours of baseball, but for the final inning Monday night, Fayette’s bench was on its feet cheering for the final out.
Fayette manager Matt Vandelicht brought in Ethan Harper to close the second game of the night between Fayette and New Franklin, with the tying run on third base and only one out. Fayette had not lost in Jr. Babe Ruth action since its final game of the 2011 season, but just like that, the Falcons’ win streak was quickly in jeopardy.
Harper allowed a walk to Jacob Hendrix, who then stole second base and put the winning run 180 feet away. However, the Fayette 15-year-old induced a groundout and struck out Dalton Friedrich to end the game, sealing a Fayette 5-4 win to sweep Monday’s doubleheader and extend Fayette’s Jr. Babe Ruth win streak to 15 games.
