JACKSON LOSES WILD 8TH, GAME

JACKSON -- Dexter edged Jackson 8-7 as a tied game changed personalities in extra innings Monday at Jackson City Park.

Through seven innings the Bearcats had just four hits to the Indians' two, but the eighth inning saw 11 runs cross the plate as Dexter outscored Jackson 6-5 in the frame.

Eight of Dexter's 12 hits on the game came in the eighth as Jackson starter Tobi Freeman was touched for four of the hits before being knocked out with one out. Josh Koehler followed and allowed four more hits before obtaining the final two outs.

Jackson, which tied the game with a single run in the seventh but stranded the bases loaded with nobody out, scored five runs in the eighth on just one hit. The Indians were helped by two hit batsmen, a walk and two errors.

"The balls weren't falling in for us," said Jackson coach Sam Sides. "We had only three hits and were lucky to be that close."

Dexter scored two runs in the second but Jackson tied the score with single runs in the third and sixth innings. Dexter moved ahead 3-2 in the sixth but Jackson tied the score with a bases-loaded walk to Andy Callis with nobody out. However, the Indians failed to push the winning run across as a runner was forced at home and two pop ups ended the threat.
