SHP, TKA run long

After three hours and 37 minutes of baseball, the King’s Academy’s game at Sacred Heart Prep was called due to darkness amid a precarious situation in the bottom of the 10th inning. With game tied 4-4 going into extra innings, TKA rallied for two runs in the top of the 10th. SHP answered back, but after pushing a run home to close the score to 6-5, and the bases full of Gators, play was halted.

Either the game will be resumed with the bases loaded an no outs in the bottom of the 10th and no outs, or the 10th inning will be wiped off the books and the game will be declared a 4-4 tie.

Ronan Donnelly got the 10th-inning rally going for SHP with an infield single. The junior went 3 for 5 on the day, though the third hit is contingent on the game being completed. Will Moldow then walked and Teddy Purcell got hit by a pitch to load the bases. Alex Nissenberg then drew a walk to force home Donnelly.

Senior right-hander Reece Lindquist entered in the fourth inning in relief of starter Parker Isaacson. Lindquist worked six innings, yielding two run, one earned.
