BY GREG FLINT sports@dancomnews.com<\/a> The Commercial-News The Commercial-News Sun Apr 06, 2014, 01:57 AM CDT <\/p>\n OAKWOOD The visiting Covington baseball teams scored first, but in the end, Oakwood scored the most as the Comets defeated the Trojans 17-7 in six innings. <\/p>\n Covington got on the board with three consecutive walks and a hit batsman to take a 1-0 lead and force Oakwood coach Bob Sermak to change pitchers. <\/p>\n He brought in Skyler Slade who immediately got the Trojans to ground into a double play, but a run scored. The visitors added a third on a single by Brandon Simmons before Slade got the third out. <\/p>\n Oakwood answered quickly as Cameron Cawley and Landon Turner both hit bloop singles over the shortstop to put runners on first and second. <\/p>\n Kyle Girton walked to fill the bases for Slade. Covington coach Troy Bever found himself in the same situation as Sermak and he, too, changed pitchers, bringing in Gage Hegg. <\/p>\n A passed ball allowed Cawley to score then Slade hit a sacrifice fly to send Turner across the plate. A combination of a walk and a wild pitch allowed Girton to score to tie the game at three-all. <\/p>\n Covington managed only a walk the second inning, but Oakwood sent ten batters to the plate in their half. It led to the Comets scoring five runs to lead 8-3. <\/p>\n The Trojans had a small rally in the third as Peyton Cutrell led off and singled. Halen Noble singled and Simmons walked. A ground out and an error gave Covington two more runs to make it 8-5. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n See the rest here: <\/p>\n Comets rally to take down Trojans<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" April 6, 2014 Comets rally to take down Trojans BY GREG FLINT sports@dancomnews.com<\/a> The Commercial-News The Commercial-News Sun Apr 06, 2014, 01:57 AM CDT OAKWOOD The visiting Covington baseball teams scored first, but in the end, Oakwood scored the most as the Comets defeated the Trojans 17-7 in six innings.
