basbal Posted May 2, 2006 Report Posted May 2, 2006 Hudson KO's Kirbyville in tune-up By GARY STALLARD The Lufkin Daily News Tuesday, May 02, 2006 HUDSON — It almost seems as if the No. 3-ranked Hudson Hornets should schedule every game they play for just five innings, rather than the requisite seven. Having run the table in district play with numerous 10-run mercy killings, the Hornets stepped outside District 21-3A in search of more competition as a tune-up for the upcoming post-season. They got that competition with Kirbyville Monday night — at least for the first five innings. With the game tied at 1-1 heading into the bottom of the fifth, Hudson embarked on a two-out, 10-run explosion to knock off the Wildcats 11-1 in Hudson. After the first two Hornet hitters went down with groundouts to Wildcat third baseman Bradley Adams, the Hudson offense kicked into a familiar high gear, sending 13 hitters to the plate to close out the game. In the inning, the Hornets drew seven walks — including a bases-loaded freebie from Hunter Bernius to end the game — and banged out five hits to keep their 10-run, five-inning schedule intact. The highlights of the final inning included Nick Rhodes' bases-loaded single, combined with an outfield error, that gave Rhodes a pair of RBIs and another run; Aaron Jarvis driving in two more in the inning with a single to left field; Tanner Hines singling twice in the inning, driving in a run and stealing two bases to score another; and Jeremy Murphy picking up the other RBI for Hudson with a single to left. Hines finished with three steals in the game. Peters added another in the fifth. All that two-out offense broke open what had been a real defensive/pitching duel, with Kirbyville starter Dusty Simmons keeping the Hornets in check for his three innings work. Simmons allowed three hits and a run, while his counterpart, Nick Rhodes, matched him inning for inning. Rhodes gave up three hits in the first inning, with Aaron Hazelwood, Cade Reeves and Adams doing the early damage leading to the Wildcats' lone run. Rhodes then settled in, keeping the Wildcats off the board before giving way to Justin Nichols, who entered in the fourth inning and retired all six batters he faced to pick up the win. Hudson (22-6, 14-0) will attempt to schedule another tune-up for this weekend while awaiting the result of the Cleveland/Hardin-Jefferson playoff game scheduled for this weekend.
