DUBOIS, PA – A walk-off double from the Cardinals in the eighth sealed DuBois Central Catholics’ comeback as they outlasted an early Bradford surge, downing the Owls 7-6.
After falling behind 1-0 early, the Owls surged in the top of the second. Suffering two outs in the first five batters, Bradford then erupted seeing first an RBI-single from Sean Ward followed by a two-run double from Lucas Wallace and finally a two-run homer from Tarren Reese. However, with a 6-1 lead, their offense sputtered out from there. Meanwhile, the Cardinals caught up sooner rather than later, scoring five runs over the next two frames.
Through the final three innings of regulation, the scoreboard remained deadlocked at six, forcing an extra do-or-die frame. Unable to find the spark for a second time, Bradford was dispatched in just three. Then, giving up two walks in four batters, the Owls saw one last hit, a double from Carter Himes, hand them their eighth loss of the season.
Combining for five RBIs and two runs, Wallace and Reese both ended 1-for-4, while Brody Haviland scored once on a similar 1-for-4 day at the plate. Haviland also produced nine strikeouts during his four innings on the mound.
