Tigers rally for win
MINDEN — Ayden Murphy scored on a two-out passed ball in the bottom of the seventh inning as the Douglas Tigers rallied for a 5-4 Northern 4A baseball walkoff victory against Spanish Springs on Friday in Minden.
Douglas (3-2 conference, 5-5 overall) scored twice in the seventh to hand Spanish Springs (3-1, 6-3) its first loss of the conference season in a makeup game. Douglas extended its win streak to three games, the last two coming on walkoffs.
Andrew Rangel singled to lead off the Tigers’ seventh inning rally and dashed home with the tying run when Jayden Foster lofted a long sacrifice fly to center field. Murphy lined a single to left field, then Zach Romero and Blake Murray drew walks to load the bases, setting the stage for the game-winning run.
Foster came on to pitch in relief of Rangel and worked the final 2.2 innings to earn the win.
The two teams were originally scheduled to play last Saturday, only to be postponed due to wet grounds. Spanish Springs hosts Douglas to complete the two-game series on Wednesday. Douglas also plays Reed on Tuesday and Thursday.
