Perkins-Tryon's junior
high Demons split a
doubleheader with the
Hennessey Eagles here last
Monday. The Demons won
the opener 11-6 but dropped
the nightcap 7-6.
In the opener, the
Demons used a six-run
second inning to break
the game open enroute to
the win. Hennessey plated
four runs in the top of the
first inning with the help
of two P-T errors and three
walks surrendered by start-
ing pitcher Matt Waitt.
Waitt got the Demons on
the board in the bottom of
the frame when he reached
on a one out walk then stole
second. He later scored for
a 4-1 score.
After holding Hennessey
scoreless in the top of the
second, P-T took the lead
for good in the bottom of
the frame with the six-run
outburst. The Demons sent
10 to the plate and used
four hits including doubles
from Austin Nietenhoefer
and Cam Mason and three
Eagle walks for the runs.
That created a 7-4 lead.
The Demons would
add three more runs in
the third and one in the
fourth to account for the
11 runs. Hennessey added
two more runs in the top of
the fourth.
Clark Crotty went 3-for-
3 including a triple to lead
the Demons at the plate.
Waitt earned the win on
the mound. He gave up four
runs on three hits and four
walks. But he did strike out
three. Nietenhoefer relieved
him in the fourth giving up
the final two Eagle runs on
two hits and two walks. He
logged one strike out.
In the nightcap, Hen-
nessey rallied with three
runs in the top of the fifth
to record the 7-6 win.
Two singles along with
a walk and a hit batsman
by reliever Kyle Richards
helped the Eagles to notch
their runs.
Hennessey led 3-2 at
the end of the first inning.
Another run by the visitors
in the top of the third created
a 4-2 advantage. P-T took
its first lead in the bottom of
the third with three runs on
five hits including a double
by Crotty. That created a
5-4 lead. That held up until
the top of the seventh when
Hennessey plated the three
runs for the 7-5 lead
The Demons added a
run in the bottom of the
fifth but couldn't get any
closer. Chance Alley scored
on a passed ball for the 7-6
final score.
Crotty, Waitt, and Zac
Bledsoe led the Demons
at the plate with 2-of-3
performances.
Richards was tagged
with the loss in his only
inning of work. Crotty led
off pitching and hurled the
first two innings. He was
relieved by Alex Dougan
in the third inning.
