Victory slips away from Warren Central
Published 11:59 am Tuesday, March 15, 2011
Warren Central was cruising along Monday night until it hit the wall — and Terry hit back, hard.
Terry scored 12 runs in the last two innings to shake off a three-run deficit and hand WC a stunning 14-7 loss at the Big Blue Tournament at Madison Central. Joshua Townes and Nick Wilson both homered for Terry, and Wilson drove in three runs. Jared Bailey had 10 strikeouts in a complete-game victory.
Beau Wallace was in control for five innings, but lost it in the sixth. After striking out 12 batters through five innings, he failed to get an out in the sixth. Terry scored five runs to tie the game, then added seven in the seventh against reliever Clayton Ashley — all with two outs — to take a commanding lead.
At the plate, Wallace went 2-for-4 with a homer and four RBIs. Ashley was 2-for-4 with a double. WC will return to action tonight at 6:30 against Olive Branch.
