Dylan Lauwers scored on a walk-off error by the Service center field Friday, lifting Dimond to a 12-11 victory in a Cook Inlet Conference baseball thriller at Chad Bax Field.
Dimond rallied by scoring four runs with two outs in the bottom of the seventh inning, plating the last two on errors. The first two came on a Tyler Thompson triple. The tying run came when the Service third baseman missed a fly ball that started as a high foul ball but was turned fair by a strong wind. The winning run came on Cory Clevenger's line-drive fly ball that popped out of the outfielder's glove, scoring Lauwers from second base.
Service jumped to a 6-3 lead in the first inning and was up 11-8 after four innings. Jake Ridley the Cougars, going 3 for 4 and scoring three times.
Thompson finished with a pair of hits and teammate Sagan Osborne finished with two hits, two runs and two RBIs while also pitching a complete game that featured five strikeouts.
South 9, West 0
Josh Crapps scattered four hits and struck out eight in a seven-inning, complete-game performance Friday that sparked South's 9-0 shutout of West in CIC action at Mulcahy Stadium.
Pat Ryan and Connor Cucullu each drove in two runs and Ryan, Bryan Baker and Kyle Frazier all had two hits for South. For the Eagles, Zane Bettis had a pair of hits and Adam Manzer added a triple.
