Headland head coach Bubber Birdsong thought it was going to drop in. So too did Houston Academy coach Tony Kirkland.
With Headland trying to protect a one-run lead in the bottom of the seventh against a Raider bases-loaded threat, the Ram outfielder came flying in and made a diving catch of a soft fly ball by Griffin McGee in short left field for a game-saving, game ending out to preserve a 2-1 Ram win at Northcutt Field.
Jordan ended back-to-back Raider fifth and sixth innings with a pick-off out, the last one with the tying run at second base. Earlier in the game, Ram catcher Trent Weatherly threw out a Raider runner trying to steal second base. “We had several base running blunders. I got one thrown out at second early in the game then we got picked off twice. We got two on there in the sixth and Chapman is coming up to the plate and he has been hitting well for us clutch situations. I was glad he was at the plate, but then we get picked off at second. That was big because if he gets a hit , we tie it up.”
Headland’s Scott reached on an error in the top of the fourth with one out, but HA’s Jackson got a fly out and strikeout to end the threat. The Rams increased their lead in the top of the fifth. Luke Nelson reached on an error in left field on a tough blooper to start the inning. After an infield fly out, Tanner Taylor singled and Evan Taylor walked to load the bases. An ensuing walk to Steele forced in Nelson to make it 2-0.The Raiders had opportunities in each of the last three innings, but could only get run across.An inning later, a two-out hit by pitch to Jackson gave the Raiders life.
