Shelby rolled to a doubleheader sweep of Bear Lake Friday, picking up wins by scores of 13-0 and 8-2.
Game
one, shortened to five innings due to the mercy rule, saw Eli Kelley
pitch a two-hit shutout, striking out eight. The Tigers scored five
times in the first inning - Evan Waller had a two-run single and Neil
Gowell drove in another run with a single - and rolled from there.
DayDay Garcia's two-run double helped fuel a seven-run fourth inning
that secured the win.
Garcia had two hits and three RBI in the
opener, and Gowell and Waller each plated a pair. Garcia, Waller,
Trevor Weiss and Leighton Belasco scored two runs apiece.
Game
two was much closer, with the Tigers and Lakers tied at 2 into the
bottom of the fourth inning before Shelby scored twice to go ahead. The
Tigers then added four more runs in the fifth before the game was
called.
Shelby only got two hits in the nightcap - one each by
Belasco and Gowell - but drew nine walks and three hit batters. Colin
Fenton's bases-loaded walk gave Shelby the lead for good in the fourth.
Garcia and Cam Smith each drew two walks.
Simon and Weiss
split the game on the mound. Weiss allowed four hits and two runs in
three innings, with three strikeouts, before Weiss came on and pitched
two one-hit innings, also fanning three.
