Baseball rallies for doubleheader split

HENDERSON, Tenn. - A wildly inconsistent offense found its footing at the right time to help the Midway baseball team grab a doubleheader split Friday.

After being shutout over the final six innings of a 7-3 loss to Freed-Hardeman, the Eagles rallied back from a 6-1 deficit against St. Francis (Ill.), earning a 7-6, extra-inning win on a walkoff Eli Glasscock single.

Both seven-inning games were played in Henderson, Tenn. after weather forced the cancelation of Midway's four-game, home-opening series Concordia (Mich.) this weekend.

MIDWAY 7, ST. FRANCIS 6 (8 innings)

After both reached on infield singles, Carlos Canales and Grant Hotchkiss eventually found themselves at second and third with one out in the bottom of the eighth.

Glasscock, who also had the game-winning hit in Midway's season opener, then came through again. On a 3-2 pitch, he took advantage of a shallow infield, singling just in front of the left field grass to bring home Canales.

Hotchkiss may have had an even bigger hit two innings earlier. Down 6-1 and with the Eagles having scored just once in their previous 11 at-bats, he delivered a two-run double to cut the St. Francis lead to 6-3.

That set the stage for Josh Halterman, who two batters later, blasted a three-run home run to even the score and pave the way for the Eagles to snap a six-game losing streak.

FREED-HARDEMAN 7, MIDWAY 3

The Eagles were up 2-0 before the Lions recorded an out, getting runs on an error and a Barrett McGill single. They added a third run in the inning after Britten Robinson walked with the bases loaded.

But Midway would not have another hit until Grant Stone singled with one out in the top of the seventh, having no answer for Freed-Hardeman's Hunter McLemore, who faced three batters in four of the six innings he worked.

The Lions answered Midway's three-run first with a three-run showing of their own in the bottom of the inning. They then took the lead for good thanks to a two-out Midway error in the bottom of the third inning, one of three the Eagles committed.

The Eagles, now 2-6 on the year, are scheduled to be back home for a four-game series against Siena Heights (Mich.) next Friday-Sunday though a bad week of expected weather has put the series at risk.

If it stays on scheduled, the first game will begin at noon Friday.
