BigRedMachine Posted June 13, 2006 Report Posted June 13, 2006 Cards advance to District 32 championship Jason Rollinson The Orange Leader BRIDGE CITY — Chase Shugart threw a complete-game four-hitter while falling just a triple short of hitting for the cycle as the Bridge City 9-year old All-Stars advanced to the District 32 Championship Game with a 19-2, four-inning win over Nederland North Monday at Bridge City Little League Complex. Shugart got BC on the scoreboard with a two-run home run to center, singled in the second and added a run-scoring double off the wall in the fourth to lead the 12-hit Cardinal attack. Dillon Taylor was 4-for-5 with four runs-batted in, and Kevin Worthy added a pair of hits and RBI. Others getting hits in the game were Blaine Slaughter, Bryce Carey and Tryce Howard. Shugart let NNLL put the ball in play and relied on his defense to get quick outs. He scattered four hits over four innings while walking three and striking out five. BC continued its scoring after Shugart’s solo blast in the top of the first when Worth singled to left, Carey reached on an infield single and Ryne Shugart walked to load the bases. Howard doubled the Cards’ run total when he laced a single through the right side to score a pair of runs and give BC a 4-0 edge. Howard took second and third on a pair of wild pitches and came home to score when Blake Pruett tapped a grounder to first. Nederland North got a run back in the bottom of the first when Jace Bordelon, who singled with one out, scored on a hit to left by Luke Bean. The Cards scored seven more runs in the second inning as 12 batters went to the plate. Slaughter led off with a walk and Taylor and Chase Shugart each singled to fill the bases. Worthy lined a two-run single up the middle to stretch the lead to 7-0, and after two outs, Jonah Watts drew a walk to load the bases. The wheels continued to fall off for NNLL as pitcher Bean hit Pruett with the bases full to bring home a run and walked Corbin Voegeli to force in another. Slaughter reached on a fielder’s choice and error that scored two more runs and Taylor cleaned the bases with a run-scoring double to right center to put BC up 12-1. BC scored four more runs in the third and three in the fourth to stretch its three-game run-scoring margin to 66-5. The Cardinals will return on the road Monday for the championship against the team out of the losers’ bracket. Nederland South and Fannett-Hamshire-Winnie-Stowell will play Wednesday with Nederland North meeting the winner. The winner of NNLL’s next game would advance to the championship, needing to beat BC twice to win the tourney.
