Mens Varsity Baseball vs. East Forsyth

Game Date
May 5, 2017

The Southwest Cowboys varsity baseball team fell to East Forsyth 6-5 in extra innings in the finals of Piedmont Triad 4A conference tournament.  East Forsyth sent the game into extra innings by plating the tying run in the top of the seventh and then took the lead on a home run by catcher Brendan Emery in the top of the eighth.

The Cowboys took the lead in the bottom of second by scoring four runs.  Tommy Zente lead off with a big double off the left filed fence. He scored on Paul Bullock’s single up the middle. Also in the inning, Tom Grose knocked in AJ Allen, Jacob Edwards scored on a passed ball, and Grose scored on the same play on a throwing error.  The Cowboys just couldn’t hang on as East Forsyth chipped away by pounding out 15 hits on the evening.  The Cowboys kept pace by drawing 10 walks and getting six hits of their own.  Both Bullock and Grose had two hits to lead the Cowboys while Edwards drew walks in each of his four at-bats.  Garrison Thornton had the other Cowboy hit.

Since they won the regular season conference title, the Cowboys are still in good shape for the state playoffs which start next week.  The brackets will come out by Monday and will include a home game for the Cowboys early in the week.
