ANTWERP – Last Monday the Wayne Trace Raiders baseball squad traveled to Antwerp for a non-league contest. The game was originally scheduled as a Raider home game but due to field conditions the game was moved to Antwerp. The Raiders prevailed 6-5 to move their record to 2-1 while the Archers even their mark at 2-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both teams were scoreless after the first inning of play followed by each team scoring a run in the second frame. With the score knotted heading into the third inning, the Archers took the lead 2-1. However, the Raider\u2019s bats came alive in their half of the third inning – scoring four times. Senior Haydn Gillett singled and senior Caleb Yenser came up with a double to drive in two runs each on back-to-back hits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the Raiders on top 5-2 the Archers would answer with three runs of their own thanks to three Wayne Trace errors. After four innings of play the score was again even at five a piece.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bottom of the fifth gave the Raiders the upper hand with what would end up being the winning run. A combination of heads-up base running coupled by untimely  Archer errors would give the Raiders the one-run win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the crucial fifth inning the red, white, and blue opened with Drew Forrer reaching first base due to an Antwerp error. Head Coach Ryan Jerome made a base running change with Dane Moore pinch running for Forrer. The change paid huge dividends as Moore managed to steal second. With Korbin Slade at the plate, the senior shot a grounder to the short stop allowing Moore to advance to third when the Archer short stop threw to first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Up next at the plate for the Raiders was Gillett who answered with a grounder back to the short stop. Moore, at third base, wasted little time as he darted to home for what would be the winning run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnce Dane (Moore) saw the short stop make the throw to first base he knew what to do. He gave us the go-ahead run which is what we were looking for. The Antwerp throw actually went wild and ended up as an error,\u201d said Coach Jerome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Archer\u2019s out hit the victorious Raiders 7-5 with sophomore Austin Lichty hammering out two singles and one RBI. Jacob Savina added a single along with an RBI. Also with singles were Keaton Altimus and Dylan Hines who also added an RBI. Leading the Archer offense was freshman Luke Krouse with a double, single and one RBI.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the winning Raiders, their five hits came from Gillett with two singles and two RBIs. Yenser collected a double along with two RBIs. Gillett and Reid Miller each added a single.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The winning pitcher was Grant Baumle with Zuber picking up the loss for the Archers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
