135-pitch performance allowing only seven hits while striking

The lightning strikes were not the only thing popping
heard around Tigertown in Lakeland as Chipola (26-26)
battled Palm Beach (36-13) in the opening round of the state
tournament. The Indians were not able to keep pace with Palm
Beach as the Indians lost 16-10 and were forced to battle their
way back through the losers’ bracket.
Eric Sauls’ three-run home run, his second home run of
the game, capped a five-run seventh inning for the Chipola
and gave them a 10-8 lead. However, a 53-minute rain delayed
occurred after the final out and the Indians were not able to
continue their momentum after the delay.
In the bottom of the seventh with two outs, Palm Beach
pounced with their own three-run home run and then the
Panther’s next batter hit a solo home run.
Indian pitcher Johnny Cristi was unable to cover first base
as Alex Bello for Palm Beach beat Chipola’s Evan Stermer
to the bag. An ensuing throwing error put runners on second
and third. Coach Johnson. “Today we didn’t throw enough
strikes and made too many mistakes; that’s been the story of
our year.”
