Second half of Jackson-Cape Legion a wild one

Wednesday, June 11, 2008

Here's a line score you won't see everyday:

Jackson    003    207    1    —    13    15    1

Cape    030    604    1    —    14    7    4

The Cape Girardeau Ford and Sons Post 63 Legion team edged Jackson 14-13 in the second half of Tuesday night's twinbill after Jackson won the District 14 game 7-2.

I only caught the tail end, but it was interesting.

Cape had three of its hits in the last two innings. It answered Jackson's seven-run sixth a grand slam to take a 13-12 lead. After Cape baserunners reached by walk, hit batsman and walk with one out, Collin Crane smashed a ball over the left field fence to give Cape the lead.

Cape even loaded the bases again by the same combination — walk, HBP, walk — before leaving them stranded.

After Jackson scored on a bases-loaded wild pitch with two outs in the top of the seventh, Cape manufactured its winning run.

Hideaki Tonaka singled into left, moved to second on a wild pitch and scored on Tyler Glidewell's double over the outfielders and into left center.
