Westville 7, Roland 5

Roland’s seventh-inning comeback fell short Thursday afternoon at Tiger Field as the Yellowjackets hung on to edge the Rangers in a first-round Central Tiger Shootout contest.

The Rangers trailed 7-3 entering the bottom of the seventh and Michael Taylor led off the at-bat with a walk. One out later a pitch hit Konner Lewis to put runners on first and second and Colton Peters’ RBI single to left field scored Taylor to make the score 7-4. Following the second strikeout of the at-bat, Trenton Ross’ base hit to left center field sent Lewis home but Peters was thrown out at third base to end the game.

After a scoreless first inning Westville scored five runs in the top of the second on a pair of singles, a walk and five hit batters.

Taylor tripled to right field to begin the Roland third and scored on a wild pitch as the Rangers trimmed a run off the deficit.

An error and a base hit helped the Yellowjackets go in front 6-1 in the fourth and Westville scored its final run in the fifth.

Paden Pitts’ RBI groundout following Avery Moya’s walk and Ross’ single down the third-base line produced Roland’s second run in the fourth.

In the Rangers’ sixth Moya reached on an error with one out and one out later Desean Cruse walked before Pitts’ RBI base hit to left field sent Moya home with Roland’s third run.

Pitts, Taylor and Ross each registered three hits in the game for the Rangers and Wiggins and Peters had a hit apiece.
