In a scenario that is quite rare, there wasn’t a winner or a loser in the Davie JV baseball team’s home game against Mt. Tabor on March 25.
The score was 9-9 after three innings. Tabor took a 10-9 lead in the top of the fourth, but Davie did not get to bat in the bottom half because of the time limit.
“We play a drop dead time limit when we play a doubleheader, and they had an agreement to stop at 6:15,” varsity coach Joey Anderson said. “(Tabor coach Andrew Jones) has so many hurt – four or five guys are hurt – so he wanted to give those guys a little bit of a break before they played our varsity.”
Davie wasted a 4-0 lead in the first inning. Tanner Steinour, Taylor Shenberger, Easton Sanders and Landon Welch sandwiched hits around a walk as the War Eagles bolted to the quick lead.
The Spartans, though, came all the way back and scored the tiebreaking run in the fourth after a double and four walks. Before that inning, three errors hurt the War Eagles.
“We should have beaten them, but errors made the difference in the score,” Anderson said. “And if we had thrown strikes, we wouldn’t have had to worry about anything.”
Mason Boger, the starting pitcher, gave up five runs in two innings, but only one was earned. Steinour (2-3, triple) and Welch (2-2, three RBIs, double) had two hits each. Shenberger went 1-1 with two walks. Blake French went 1-2 with a double. Sanders was 1-3. Jason Riddle walked twice.
Davie 14, Watauga 3
The War Eagles came out blazing again while hosting Watauga on March 29, and this time they didn’t look back.
Steinour, Sanders, Shenberger and Young banged hits, and there were two hit batsmen and a walk involved as Davie built a 6-0 lead in the first inning.
Davie would go on to outhit the Pioneers 10-4 and lift its record to 8-4. Watauga made all three of the game’s errors while getting blown out in five innings.
Sanders was the top offensive player with two hits, two runs and two RBIs in three at-bats.
“Easton swings the bat really well,” Anderson said. “He’s a little different hitter than other people. When he gets his timing right, it’s a big deal for him. It was a real good day for him.”
Eight guys had one hit, including Noah Potts (triple), Shenberger (double), Steinour (double), Riddle, French, Tay Settecasi, Preston Young and Welch.
Ian Patton did all the pitching and held Watauga to four hits while striking out five.
Reagan 10, Davie 2
It was a 0-0 game until visiting Reagan opened the floodgates in the third, when the Raiders scored nine runs on three hits, seven walks and an error while sending 14 batters to the plate.
The six-inning game was Davie’s largest margin of defeat all season.
Davie’s five hits came from Steinour, Potts, Settecasi, Young and Austin Samuels. Two pitchers held Reagan to seven hits, but they were hurt by nine walks.
Davie 11, W. Davidson 7
One day later on the road, Steinour, Sanders, Shenberger and Young banged two hits each as Davie built a 9-1 lead and held on against West Davidson.
Rounding out the 10-hit attack were Welch and French with one base knock each.
The second of four pitchers, Levi Block, gave up six runs in three innings, but all six were unearned as Davie won depsite committing five errors. Potts and Shenberger recorded the final five outs.
Reagan 10, Davie 2
In the second meeting with Reagan, Davie lost by the same score as three days earlier. The War Eagles started the week with a 9-6 record.
