Recap

Ada A’s 14, Midway 13 (8 innings)

Beau Jorgensen had 4 hits, including a 2-run single in the eighth inning that brought in the winning runs as the Ada A’s came back from an 11-2 deficit to defeat Midway 14-13 Saturday at Tony Sipe Field in Ada.

Jorgensen went 4 for 5 at the plate with 4 runs batted in.  He was also the winning pitcher, throwing 4 and one-third innings in relief.  The right-hander allowed 8 hits, 6 runs (2 earned) with no walks, a hit batter and one strikeout.

Ada opened the scoring with 2 first inning runs.  But Midway responded with 3 in the second inning, 4 in the fourth and 4 in the fifth to go ahead 11-2.

In the bottom of the fifth, the A’s rallied to score 5 times, with Austin McCraven’s 2-run single the big hit of the frame.  Then in the sixth, Ada scored 5 more to take a 12-11 lead.  Kenny Erickson’s rbi single putting the A’s in front.

With this being a 7 inning game, the Midway Snurdbirds needed to get a run quickly…and they did on a sacrifice fly by Ethan Eischens.  That tied the score at 12 and forced extra baseball.

In the eighth inning, DJ Reichling doubled, went to third on a ground out and scored on Preston Riewer’s sacrifice fly to put Midway ahead 13-12.  In the bottom of the eighth, the A’s got three walks to load the bases with one out. Then Jorgensen delivered a 2 run single to win the game for the A’s.
