A four run sixth inning Redskin rally came up short in a 10-4 loss against Central A&M April 15. Sullivan starter Tommy Schibur battled against tough luck and a small strike zone all day while the Raiders’ starter allowed just one hit over the first five innings.

Sullivan head coach Troy Rogers said before the game shortstop Brett Tuttle had to be removed from lineup due to possible injury. “We are waiting to hear because we don’t want it to get worse until we find out for sure. I talked it over with my seniors and asked what they thought. We came up with a game plan.”

The Raiders got to Schibur in the first inning after a dying quail fell for a base hit to right field to bring home the game’s first run. A walk followed and the Raiders capitalized with an RBI single to make it 2-0. An infield single loaded the bases, and a second walk brought home a third run.  Schibur notched a big strikeout to end the inning and limit the damage.  However, the Raiders scratched across another run in the second inning to make it 4-0. Coach Rogers commented that Central AM makes you pay for mistakes. “They did a good job of getting runners on and they are fast. They do a good job putting pressure on your defense. That was Hrvol’s first start at third all year. I had to bring up Dalton Rogers who is a freshman to play second, and that was a last minute change.”       Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
