The Yuma High School baseball team returned to Akron Wednesday night to end a Rams season opener.
The Indians traveled to Akron on Tuesday afternoon for their season D debut. They had a lead of 12-6 in the first game after 5-1 / 2 innings when bad weather set in. This led the schools to decide to continue the game on Wednesday and finish the first game before moving on to the nightcap.
Yuma is in Caliche on Saturday at 10am for a varsity game followed by a JV game. The Indians are in Merino for another LPAA double header on Tuesday, weather permitting.
By the weather delay, Yuma had 12 runs with eight hits and had benefited from six Akron mistakes, although the Indians also had four field mistakes.
Yuma scored first when Kobe Rayl took a walk and eventually scored a mistake in the top of the first. Akron was leading 2-1 as the Indians pushed over three runs with just one hit in the second and Angel Escobar, Cade Morton and Rayl scored a goal.
Kevin Hermosillo, who scored a hit in each of his first four bats, and Escobar split, scoring the third hit. John Smith walked and took a 7-3 lead in the third. In the fourth run there were three more runs, including Rayl’s double with two runs, in which Smith and Morton were scored. Hermosillo went too and scored in the inning.
Jose Ruiz and Andre Baucke both reached the base in fifth. Ruiz hit a mistake and Baucke hit a single from Hermosillo or Escobar, both of whom had a hit in the inning.
Action resumed at the end of the fifth on Wednesday when Akron pushed over two. The Indians added three to the top of the seventh. Hugo Montes, courtesy of Andre Baucke, met Escobar’s single. Escobar scored after a mistake, and Smith scored as a single player, then took two wins at Rayl’s single to take a 15-6 advantage.
Akron made it interesting with four runs in the home half thanks to a series of balls, but the Indians held on to victory.
Hermosillo was 4-for-5 scoring two runs, Escobar 3-for-4, three runs and three RBI, Rayl two hits including a double, two runs and three RBI, Yahir Trejo an RBI, Victor Perez an RBI, Ruiz one RBI and one run, Hugo Montes one run as a courtesy runner for Baucke, Morton one hit, one RBI and two runs, and Smith one hit and three runs.
Trejo went four innings on the hill for Yuma for the win. He hit three, walked two, and allowed four hits. All four Akron runs against him were undeserved. Escobar knocked out one for three in an inning, Ruiz four strike outs and seven walks, allowing four deserved runs over 1-2 / 3 innings, and Smith took the final out of the game.
The tribe then drove to a 19-1 win in five innings in nightcap. Yuma broke it up with five runs in the second, including a double from Cade Morton. He scored along with Rayl, Trejo, Perez and Hermosillo.
Triples by Perez and Hermosillo sparked a fourth run in seven runs, and the Indians clashed with five more in the fifth. Akron’s only run came in the second.
Connor Lynch went the first four innings on the hill for the pitching victory. The one on the left allowed a run with two hits, walked four, and hit two. Rayl threw the last inning and knocked out one.
Morton had two hits including a double with two RBI and three runs, Trejo two hits including a double with two RBI and one run, Ruiz two hits, three RBI and one run, Perez a triple, one RBI and three runs, Hermosillo a triple, four runs and one RBI, Rayl one hit, one RBI and two runs, Baucke one hit, one run and one RBI, Escobar one hit and two runs and Smith one hit, two runs and one RBI.
