Ahead 3-0, a top-10 worthy Lee-Davis team may have relaxed against a youthful Prince George squad with the Cosby Titans on Thursday’s docket.
That mistake got the Confederates in a nine-inning dogfight, still pulled out by homestanding Lee-Davis 8-7 Wednesday night.
B.J. Mortimer was the hero, providing the game-winning single that brought in Bobo Peck. Mortimer was 2 for 5 with 2 RBI on the evening.
“[J.D. Johnson] threw me a fastball down and away, and my coaches were telling me to stay back,” Mortimer said. “I finally stayed back and drove it to opposite field like I needed to do.”
Perhaps the most credit needs to go to Lee-Davis’ Mike Kluver. He replaced Nick Frame in the sixth inning with the bases loaded, and gave up two runs in four innings striking out nine Royals.
From his nine spot in the hitting lineup, Kluver went 2 for 5, dropping a home run over the left-center fence in the fourth inning. Will Burton went 3 for 5 and Jordan Boze 2 for 3 with 3 RBI.
For Prince George, Ryan Montgomery and Cain Allin had 2 RBI each, while Ben Kendall went 2 for 4.
Prince George 002 122 000 – 7 7 3
Lee-Davis 210 310 001 – 8 15 3
Koch, Johnson (4) and Montgomery; Marshall, Frame (4), Kluver (6) and Connerley.
Records: Prince George (0-2); Lee-Davis (2-0)
