Five or six runs is a big inning for a high school baseball team, but the Green Forest Tigers went way beyond that in a victory over Lead Hill on Monday, April 3.
Trailing 3-0 after an inning and a half, the Tigers scored 17 runs in the bottom of the second and went on to a 20-3 victory in three innings.
Green Forest’s big inning included six hits, five walks, two batters hit by pitch and six Lead Hill errors.
Green Forest had four extra-base hits in the second, starting with back-to-back RBI doubles by Tristin Burgess and Braden Epperly. After a walk, an error and a passed ball that allowed Epperly to score, Lead Hill committed its third error of the inning to let in another Green Forest run for a 4-3 lead.
Mason Meador followed with an RBI triple, then scored on a sacrifice fly by Ryan Bruegel.
Ridge Swofford singled, moved to second on a passed ball and scored on an error to make it 7-3.
After another error allowed Green Forest’s eighth run of the inning, Lead Hill recorded the second out. But Green Forest scored nine more runs from that point.
Brityn Gilliam’s two-run double made it 10-3 and Isaiah Fraga followed with an RBI single. After two walks, two more runs scored on another Lead Hill error. A walk loaded the bases and a hit batsman forced another run home and made it 14-3.
