Tribe trounces Bulldogs
FORT RECOVERY — Bulldog pitchers had a tough time finding the strike zone.
When they were accurate, the Indians let the ball fly.
Fort Recovery High School’s baseball team exploded for seven hits, four walks and 15 runs — just in the third inning — in thrashing the Ada Bulldogs 17-1 in five innings during the Division IV Coldwater District sectional semifinal it hosted on Tuesday.
“Gosh, we just got it rolling,” said FRHS coach Jerry Kaup. “They couldn’t throw some strikes and we did a nice job as a team of not helping them.
“We waited on strikes. We hit good pitches, otherwise we didn’t chase their pitches out of the zone. I think that was key.”
Fort Recovery (9-16), the district’s No. 6 seed, advances to the sectional final at 5 p.m. Thursday against No. 5 seed Crestview Knights. The Knights topped the Indians 5-4 April 3.
Already ahead 2-0 thanks to an RBI single from Brock Dues in the first inning and an RBI groundout from Kendrick Wendel in the second, Fort Recovery sent 21 batters to the plate in the third.
Ryne Post, got the scoring started with an RBI double and hustled his way home from second on a wild pitch after he already got a good jump trying to steal third. He later hit a bases-clearing triple to knock in a game-high four runs, all in the same inning.
“He did a great job,” Kaup said of Post. He’s been our best hitter. He played with some real hustle and energy scoring from second base on a wild pitch.
“We were hoping to see a lot more of that. He’s a talented young man and when he plays with that kind of fire it certainly gets us going.”
After Post’s three-run triple, Dues, who finished with three stolen bases, doubled to score the inning’s 10th run. Derek Lochtefeld later hit a two-run double, and Wendel recorded his second RBI. Also in the inning, Cobe Wendel, Alex Dues and Landon Post drew bases-loaded walks, and Bo Thein had an RBI.
Post drew three of the Tribe’s eight free passes, and seven of the nine spots in the Fort Recovery lineup scored two runs apiece.
Dillan Evers started for the Indians and pitched 2 2/3 innings. He gave up one earned run on five hits with four strikeouts and a pair of walks.
