Bruins' bats still too quiet

Prep Roundup

From Staff Reports The Daily Citizen

— After scoring in double digits in four of its first five games, Northwest Whitfield’s baseball team finds itself in a sudden scoring slump with just five runs in the past three games.

Trouble bringing home baserunners cost the Bruins on Wednesday in a 5-2 non-region loss at Heritage-Catoosa.

Northwest (5-3) led 2-1 going into the fifth inning — Heritage scored its first run in the first inning, while the Bruins rallied for two runs in the fourth — but couldn’t come back after giving up a pair of runs to the Generals in both the fifth and sixth innings.

The Bruins left two runners stranded in the second, fourth and fifth innings and also left what would have been the tying run at the time stranded on third in the sixth.

“We had plenty of chances,” Northwest coach Todd Middleton said. “We just didn’t capitalize.”

Nick Sullivan was 2-for-2 with a double, Cody Jones was 2-for-2 with a double, Hogan Hughes had an RBI single and Hunter Key had a hit and drove in a run for Northwest, which collected seven total hits.

Jordan Darnell started on the mound and went five innings, allowing three earned runs on five hits with five strikeouts and a pair of walks.

“I was more disappointed with some of the intangible things tonight than the physical,” Middleton said. “Jordan pitched well enough to win, we just didn’t get the hits when we needed them.”
