Indians hand 5A Brazoswood 2nd loss...

PN-G (3-2)  12

Brazoswood (6-2)  9  F

WP-E. Harrington

SV-Dominguez

Indians were dominating after 4 innings up 10-3 then the wheels fell off. A couple of errors led to an extended inning where the Bucs put a 6 spot on the board thanks in part to back to back homers off Eric Harrington. PN-G resonded with a 2 run blast in the 5th. Wind was blowing out at the JV field leading to a lot of homers. Indians finished with 3 or 4 while I think the Bucs had 3. Next up for the Indians the Barbe Bucs.

Indians lose tough one at WB

By Dave Rogers

The Port Arthur News

BEAUMONT – With a roster including nearly as many freshmen (three) as seniors (four), Port Neches-Groves expected its predistrict games to be full of trials and tribulations as the youngsters scrambled to get ready for District 22-4A play.

No one expected what happened to the Indians Friday afternoon.

Senior Shawn Flores, who has been one of the shining lights of a hit-and-miss start to the season with his bat and his pitching, missed two fly balls in the seventh inning.

Those miscues, coming with first one, then two outs, allowed Victoria Memorial to score the tying and winning runs in a stunning 4-3 decision over the Indians in second-day play of the West Brook baseball tournament.

The PN-G center fielder lost both fly balls in the sun.

“It’s an unfortunate thing that happens,†Indian coach Jay Stone said after his team dropped to 3-4.

PN-G, which has never failed to reach the playoffs under its 10th-year coach, committed a total of five errors in the game. That after four errors in Thursday night’s 12-4 loss to Lake Charles Barbe.

“That’s why they call them predistrict games,†Stone said. “It’s kind of like the professional playing spring training. These are like our spring training games.â€

The Indians play two more today, starting with an 8 a.m. tilt with Lufkin and finishing with a 5 p.m. against the host Bruins.

The surprising ending of Friday’s game negated a strong pitching performance from junior Jon Carnahan. He struck out five batters and allowed only two hits, with the Vipers scoring single runs in the first and fourth. Only the first of the four runs charged to Carnahan was earned.

“He pitched very well today,†Stone praised. “He pitched good enough to win.â€

The Indians tied the game 1-1 in the third inning when Jeremy Dominguez scored on a sacrifice fly. Dominguez doubled in the fifth and Kane Benoit singled him home to tie the game 2-2.

Benoit had two of PN-G’s five hits in the game.

The Indians took their only lead of the game, 3-2, when Payton Faseler reached on a fielder’s choice in the bottom of the sixth and worked his way around to score on Carnahan’s sac fly.

The Indians had both Brett Doty and Jeremy Dominguez on base in the bottom of the seventh when the game ended on back-to-back strikeouts.
