Wolves post “double digits” for 5th game in a row

The second ranked school in Class B scored in double digits for the fifth straight game to win going away 18-2 against Beekman Charter on Friday. The victory improved the Wolves record to 15-8 according to the LHSAA which doesn’t count the three victories Weston has taken against out of state team this year and takes some of the sting out of the 14-10 loss to West Ouachita, the #4 ranked team in Division II, on Thursday.

Weston 18 Beekman Charter 2: A season best 16 run explosion in the bottom of the third ended the game in three innings as Colton Blundell smashed two home runs and both Drew Browning and Cole Tolar hit “round trippers” to help capitalize on the 15 free passes given up by Beekman Charter pitching. It was a complete team as other than the three above who combined for 10 runs and 9 RBI’s, Sawyer Watkins, Jase Borders and Bryce Zehr scored twice and both Jacob Gill and Ty Henderson scored a run each. Beaux Oliver took the win.

West Ouachita 14 Weston 10 (Thursday) – After spotting West Ouachita 6-1 and 8-4 leads in the first two innings, the Wolves closed the gap to just a one run deficit only to see the Chiefs score six in a frame for the second time in the game in the bottom of the fourth inning to put the game out of reach. The Wolves blasted West Ouachita pitching for 14 hits led by Jacob Gill’s career day of 4 RBI, paced by a home run and a double. Cole Tolar also came up big going 3/4 with a double while Bryce Zehr and Drew Browning hit “two baggers’ and scored two runs each. Ty Henderson chipped in with two hits and two runs scored and both Colton Blundell and Liam Weaver scored a run apiece.

Next Up! The Wolves will look to clinch their second straight district 1B title on Monday, when they travel to Doyline. Weston will then host Claiborne Christian on Tuesday with both games scheduled to begin at 5:00 pm.
