Marshall gets break in 6th

Andy Amey The Tribune-Star

MARSHALL, Ill. — Paris pitcher Dalton Chambers and Marshall’s hitters both flirted with postseason high school baseball disaster for a long time Monday afternoon.

But some Tiger defensive breakdowns in the bottom of the sixth inning made the difference, as the host Lions scored twice and held on for a 3-1 victory in the first round of the Class 2A Teutopolis Regional.

Paris, despite a near-.500 record the bottom seed in a loaded regional field, jumped on top of the third-seeded Lions in the top of the first inning when Robert Hodgson hit the first pitch of the game for a double and scored on a bad-hop single by Chambers.

Marshall got two hits and a walk in the bottom of the inning, but failed to score when two different runners were thrown out at third base. And a pattern was established.

The Lions would threaten in every inning.

And Chambers, staying out of the middle of the plate with a tantalizing array of offspeed pitches, would wriggle out of trouble. Even in the bottom of the third, when a Dalton McNeely walk blossomed into the tying run thanks to a two-out single by Drew Morris, the Lions left the bases loaded.

“I got worried about the fourth inning, after we’d left about 10 men on base,” coach Chris Kessler of the Lions admitted afterward. “It was hard to get upset [with the Lions], because we were hitting the ball, but the Chambers kid did a good job getting out of jams.”

“Dalton has shown so much mental toughness this year,” coach Creighton Tarr of the Tigers said. “In years past he couldn’t do that, but this year? He’s just tough. But we had trouble scoring runs behind him.”

Paris couldn’t score an additional run that might have put even more pressure on the Marshall hitters because Marshall’s Jordan Grooms was also having quite a game. After the first inning, he settled in with a crisp fastball and some very nasty breaking pitches, striking out nine in the first five innings.

“The first inning I was a little wild; there were some nerves,” he said after the game. “But by the second inning I relaxed.”

Paris had hits in every inning but one, but the Tigers also left plenty of runners on base.

“We had some situations where a hit could have changed the momentum of the game, but we didn’t get it,” Tarr said. “Credit Grooms on that. He pitched a heck of a ballgame.”

In the bottom of the sixth, Marshall’s Baylor Myers drew a full-count walk to lead off the inning. Thomas Sisson was safe at first when his sacrifice bunt was thrown wide of the bag, and an overthrow on an infield hit by Grooms enabled Myers to score the go-ahead run. Sisson then added an insurance run on McNeely’s sacrifice fly.

“In the sixth we let things slide away from us,” Tarr said. “It hurts because of the effort Dalton gave us.”

“We had a bunch of hits, but we didn’t get the hits when it came down to [driving in runs],” Grooms said after the game. “It was one of those days [in which] you tough through it.”

“We can’t leave runners [on base] like that the next two games,” Kessler said, looking toward Wednesday’s semifinal game with second-seeded Shelbyville and hoping for a championship game with the host team.

“Shelbyville’s a good team,” Kessler added. “The top three seeds [in the regional] have over 20 wins … and T-town has won the last two state championships. It’s not going to be easy.”

    Maybe the prospect of ISU’s season had me so pumped that I decided to get it started close to three hours early? (Or more truthfully, maybe I was over-vigilent about predicted traffic horrors on the Indiana 46 bypass that never came to pass.)
