Bighorns baseball sweeps Lyon County schools
The Oasis Academy baseball team went undefeated last week, beating Silver Stage, 15-1, and sweeping Yerington’s JV team in a doubleheader, 11-7 and 11-6.
Oasis Academy, which is playing its first season, isn’t eligible for the postseason but improved to 10-3.
In last Monday’s win over Silver Stage, the Bighorns broke open the game with a 10-run fourth inning after being tied for the first two innings.
Sophomore Zachary Budner and freshmen Matthew Bird and Ryder McNabb each had three hits, including a double. Bird and Budner each drove in four runs, and Budner was a home run shy of the cycle. Freshman Trevor Barrenchea and McNabb each had two RBIs, and junior Sebastian Gomez Holguin, and sophomores Josh Gusewelle and Fenn Mackedon each had an RBI.
Budner pitched three innings of shutout ball, striking out six and allowing only one hit. Bird threw two innings and struck out four but issued three walks.
Oasis Academy came from behind to beat Yerington’s JV team in the first game on Saturday, 11-7, scoring four runs in the eighth and extra inning.
Freshman James Thibodaux, Barrenchea, Gusewelle and McNabb each had three hits, and McNabb led the team with three RBIs and a double. Freshman Kayden White and Thibodaux each drove in two, and Budner and Mackedon each had an RBI.
A trio of pitchers contributed to the win with White going two innings and Mackedon and McNabb each threw three innings. McNabb led the team with five strikeouts and no earned runs.
In the nightcap, the Bighorns scored five runs in the seventh to break a 6-6 tie.
Gusewelle drove in five on four hits, including a home run, and Bird had four hits, including two doubles, and three RBIs. White doubled twice and drove in one, and McNabb had three hits, including two doubles. Budner drove in one run.
Bird started on the hill, going three innings and giving up five earned runs, before Budner came in to pitch a shutout in the final four innings while striking out four.
The Lady Bighorns softball team fell to Pyramid Lake, 13-2, last Tuesday in Nixon before posting a pair of forfeits against Wells.
Oasis Academy sits 6-4 in the 1A North, three games behind Smith Valley (9-1) for first. Oasis Academy travels to Smith Valley this week for a pair of games.
In last week’s 11-run loss to Pyramid Lake, the Bighorns kept the game close after two innings, trailing only 2-1. But the Lakers scored 10 runs in the third and added another in the fourth to end the game due to the mercy rule.
Sophomore Lorena Rios led the team with a single and triple, while sophomore Taylynn Maynez and freshman Dahilia Creer each had an RBI. Junior Enede Rios, sophomore Kaylin Guthrie and freshmen Serenity Law and Grace Laca each had a single.
Sophomore Kristen Detamosi pitched four innings, giving up four earned runs, seven hits and nine walks. She struck out six.
