Bobcats make quick work of Liberty

Mark Marshall

The Orange Leader

BRIDGE CITY — Making their first appearance in the postseason in four years the Orangefield Bobcats showed no signs of any playoff inexperience as they ran away with their class 3A best of 3 Bi-District series with the Liberty Panthers.

The Bobcats outscored Liberty 21-0 in a two-game sweep capped off on Friday night at Bridge City’s Cardinal Field with a 10-0 victory.

With the win Orangefield (22-9) gets a bye in the Area Round and now awaits the winner between the Bridge City Cardinals and Cameron Yoe Yoemen. The two will play a one game winner take all Monday night at Baseball USA in Houston at 7 p.m.

The Bobcats got on the board early in the bottom of the second inning as 4 runs crossed home plate.

After a Quinton Evans double and a Josh Watson walk Derrick Evans ripped an RBI single to plate Quinton Evans and move Watson over to third.

Jace Statum then walked to load the bases. Watson would then score on a passed ball that got away from Panther catcher John Zalesak. The scoring continued when Jonathan Deramus hit a slow roller to the first baseman that would have ended the inning but the ball was misplayed and Deramus reached while Derrick Evans came home. Jacob Felts then crushed a RBI double that brought Statum home to make the score 4-0 in favor of the Bobcats.

While Orangefield was busy scoring runs starting pitcher Brock Whitson was busy holding the Liberty offense to a minimum. Whitson worked all 5 innings and allowed just 3 hits while striking out 7.

The Bobcats tacked on 5 more runs in the bottom of the fourth. With the bases loaded and no outs Chase Angelle connected on an 0-2 pitch and sent it deep into the left field corner to empty the bases with a 3 RBI double. After Angelle advanced to third on a passed ball senior Zach Peevey singled to bring him home making the score 9-0 Bobcats.

Orangefield ended the game and the Panther’s season in the bottom of the fifth when Quinton Evans singled to score Jacob Felts and make the final of 10-0.

Quinton Evans led the Bobcats at the plate going 3-4 with two singles, a double and the game winning RBI.
