The Class 3A Rangers (4-14 overall) scored seven runs in the top of the fifth inning Saturday at Tiger Field on their way to winning the consolation championship of the Central Tiger Shootout.

Roland led 2-0 at the end of the first frame before adding five in the third and three in the fourth to take a 10-4 advantage to the fifth. The 2A Tigers (8-11) scored two runs apiece in the bottom of the third and fourth innings.

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.

Pitts (2 RBIs) and Peters and Ross (1 each) drove in Roland’s runs.

In relief Pitts (2.1) struck out three and walked one while giving up one hit and no earned runs and Moya (0.2) struck out one and walked none while allowing one hit and no earned runs.

The Rangers committed four errors in the contest and Westville had two.
