LW Baseball advances in NAIA World Series with wild 15-12 win Game with AUM saw NAIA World Series Record 17 runs in sixth inning Today: Blue Raider Baseball team vs. loser Tennessee Wesleyan v. Bellevue (NE) in elimination game on Tuesday, May 31, 2016 at 2pmCT/12pmNoonPT at at Harris Field, 500 8th Avenue, Lewiston, ID. By Charles Balcom LEWISTON, ID (30 May 2016) - The Lindsey Wilson baseball team was able to hold off a late-charging Auburn-Montgomery (AL) squad in a wild 15-12 win to keep their season alive at the Avista-NAIA Baseball World Series on Monday afternoon. In a game that saw an NAIA World Series record 17 runs scored in the sixth inning, the Warhawks (46-17) battled all the way back from a 13-run deficit and had the bases loaded with no outs in the bottom of the ninth down three runs. But James Roll was able to get a strikeout, a fly out, and a long fly-ball out caught at the warning track to preserve the win and keep the Blue Raiders (44-24) alive at the World Series. The eight-seeded Blue Raiders now face the loser of No. 2 seed Tennessee Wesleyan and No. 3 seed Bellevue (NE) in another elimination game on Tuesday, May 31, 2016 at 2pmCT at at Harris Field, 500 8th Avenue, Lewiston, ID. Lindsey Wilson started fast as the Blue Raiders opened up a 6-2 lead after the first three innings. The scoring slowed from there until a wild sixth inning saw 25 batters come to the plate, 17 runs scored, and both teams hit grand slams. The 17 runs scored in the inning were a NAIA World Series record, surpassing the 14 runs scored in an inning back in the 2004 World Series in a game between Cumberland (Tenn.) and Embry Riddle (FL). The Blue Raiders wasted little time to make the first dent in the scoreboard in the top of the first. After falling behind 0-2 in the count, Alec Salcedo reached on a leadoff walk. Edgar Lebron followed with an infield single where he beat out the throw to first. Aaron Ashton then belted a ball to the left-center gap that dropped before the Warhawk centerfielder could catch it, loading the bases. Austin Atwell delivered a deep sacrifice fly to left, allowing Salcedo to score and both runners to tag and move up. Jan Carlos Ortiz followed with a single that bounced just under the diving first baseman's glove into right, scoring Lebron. Brandon Munoz accounted for the final run with a sac fly to right to score Ashton for the 3-0 Blue Raider lead. Lindsey Wilson kept the momentum rolling in the second as Dustin Woody led off with a single through the pitcher's legs and was lifted on the base paths for Caleb Ratzman. With the hit-and-run on, Ratzman left first on the pitch and as the shortstop went to cover the bag, Fabian Chirino smashed a ball to the spot the shortstop had just vacated as Ratzman raced around to third. Salcedo then put down a perfectly placed safety bunt down the first-base line as Ratzman came in for the 4-0 lead. Lebron legged out another infield single to put runners on first and second with one out, but a fly out and ground out ended the inning. A Blue Raider error with two outs spoiled a one-two-three second inning for starting pitcher Daniel Ferrell, but he retired the next batter with a line out to center. The hot-swinging Blue Raider bats continued in the top of the third with back-to-back leadoff singles from Ortiz and Munoz. Victor Nazario was then hit by a pitch to load the bases for Woody. Woody hit a soft ground ball to first base, but the Warhawk defender airmailed the throw home to allow Ortiz to score for the 5-0 lead. After a fly out, Salcedo hit a sac fly to center to score Munoz for the 6-0 advantage, but Nazario was caught in a rundown to end the inning. The Auburn-Montgomery offense came alive in the bottom of the third inning with a pair of runs, using a bit of small ball. After a leadoff double snuck just inside the bag at third, an infield single put runners on the corners. A perfectly placed AUM bunt brought the first run in, and a Blue Raider throwing error on another bunt loaded the bases. Lindsey Wilson got a bit of help with a double play as the second run scored before a fly out ended the inning. The fourth and fifth innings went by scoreless before the record-setting sixth inning. Salcedo led off the inning with a single and was moved to second on a sac bunt by Ratzman. Ashton was intentionally walked to set up the double play, but Atwell sent a ball down the right field line to make it 7-2. Ortiz singled to make it 8-2 and Munoz drew a walk to load the bases with one out still. Nazario hit a fly ball to shallow left which the leftfielder dropped, allowing the runners to all move up a base. A wild pitch and hit by pitch scored the next two runs before Salcedo blasted his first home run as a Blue Raider off the scoreboard for a grand slam that made it 15-2. Auburn-Montgomery was equally up to the task in the bottom half of the sixth with eight runs of their own. The Warhawks took advantage of five free passes in the inning along with a hit by pitch, three singles, and Dalton Kelley's grand slam to account for the eight runs and trim the Blue Raider lead all the way down to 15-10. Ferrell, who started strong through the first five innings, was lifted for James Doubet in the inning. Roll eventually entered in the bottom of the seventh. AUM cut into the lead again with a run in the seventh to make it a 15-11 game. The eighth inning and top of the ninth went by scoreless before Auburn-Montgomery put together one final rally in the ninth. The Warhawks had runners on the corners when a single scored one and cut the lead to 15-12. An infield single then loaded the bases with no outs. But Roll remained calm and struck out the next batter for the first out. He then got a fly out to shallow right for the second out before Brandon Davis slammed a ball to the warning track in left that was tracked down by Salcedo for the game-winning out as the Blue Raiders won 15-12. AUM used an NAIA-record nine different pitchers in the game. Starter Kade Suther took the loss, while Ferrell (8-4) picked up the win and Roll earned his first save of the season.
