We had the Gering Platte Valley Companies seniors once again last night on KMOR 93.3 FM as they won their home opener at Oregon Trail Park over Alliance 6-3.
Gering scored two runs in the fifth and two more runs in the sixth inning to get the comeback win and improve to 3-0 on the season.
Jackson Howard started and took a no-decision after walking seven and allowing three earned runs on just one hit allowed before Isaiah Murillo came on in relief to earn the win with 3 1/3 innings pitched with no runs allowed, he struck out two and walked a pair.
Gering with just four hits in the game and the table setter, Tanner Gartner, the top hitter on the night, he went 2-3 with two runs scored and one RBI. Howard and Mason Gaudreault also with RBI in the win.
The Gering seniors will host their Platte Valley Companies Tournament this weekend running Friday through Sunday.
In the JR’s game it was Alliance downing B&C Steel 10-2.
WESTCO falls at Post 6
The WESTCO Zephyrs went on the road to Powers Field in Cheyenne last night and got beat by legion power Post 6 by the final of 11-2.
Starting pitcher Carter Reisig battled what’s an always great top to bottom lineup for Post 6. Reisig went five innings and struck out eight and only allowed three earned runs (five total). Head coach Dallas Liptac said, “Yeah, he was really good.”
Reisig also had a three hit night at the plate with a triple and double included with one driven in while Jahrell Mendez kept adding to his hit total with two more.
The Zephyrs are now 4-3 and they’ll be in Gillette WY for games Friday through Monday.
