Southern Door’s Derik LeCaptain hit a game-winning single to give the Eagles a 7-6 win over Sevastopol in Packerland Conference baseball Tuesday.

 

The Pioneers took an early 4-0 lead after three innings in large part to five defensive errors by the Eagles.

 

The Eagles would get on the scoreboard in the bottom of the fifth, but Sevastopol quickly extended their lead to 6-1 after Josh and Jacob Pflieger would score on a two-run double by Robby Pollman.

 

In the bottom of the sixth, the Eagles started their comeback. Four runs would score on wild pitches, walks and a two-out RBI double by Logan Jeanquart. 

 

After a quick top of the seventh inning, the Eagles would load the bases, score on a wild pitch and then LeCaptain swung on a 3-0 pitch and hit a rope to center field. 

 

LeCaptain was also credited with the win in relief of starter Tyler Kroll. Kroll went the first five innings and finished with six strikeouts. 

 

Nathan Stenzel was credited with the loss in relief. Robby Pollman started and went the first four innings giving Eagle hitters problems. Pollman allowed just two hits and struck out five.

Jaden Sawyer had two hits for the Pioneers. 

 

Logan Jeanquart finished with two hits and Alex Daoust was on base all four plate appearances and scored two runs.
