- 0:17by Everlett for an Ottawa baseball team that wrote a
- 0:20heater to a share of the twenty twenty six Interstate
- 0:24eight Conference championship. Tuesday's twelve to four home win over
- 0:27Root twenty three rival Street was just another mile post
- 0:31happily passed on what's been one heck of a fun
- 0:34end of season ride. It's been amazing, said Ottawa center
- 0:38field or Alikso Fernandez, who singled, tripled, scored two runs
- 0:42and drove home three more in Tuesday's win at Kingfield.
- 0:45We've been on a roll. We've been hot, and we're
- 0:48looking to keep it going. We've got guys bringing energy
- 0:51and it gets all of us going. We start having
- 0:54good at bats, and I don't know, it just starts
- 0:56all flowing from there, hitting the ball well and scoring runs.
- 1:01The Pirates, now November one, seventeen on the spring, have
- 1:04won seventh straight and twelve of their last fourteen. In
- 1:08Tuesday's triumph, it was Fernandez Rory Moore, single two RBIs
- 1:12and the red hot Adam Swanson single double homer five
- 1:15RBIs keeping the Pirates good thing going. Swanson opened the
- 1:20scoring with a leadoff homer just inside the right field
- 1:23foul poll to start off the bottom of the first
- 1:25inning and another big day for the Pirates offense. We
- 1:30were kind of worried about today after an emotional win
- 1:32last night over Kitlin to secure a share of the
- 1:35I eight title. Pirates coach Levi Erickson said the energy
- 1:39was just different today, but when Adam comes out and
- 1:42hits a solo home run to start the game, that
- 1:44kind of sparks everything. Ottawa added three unearned runs in
- 1:49the seconds before a seven run third, helped along by
- 1:52three Bulldog's errors, answered Streeters two run top of the
- 1:55third and chased Bulldogs. Starting pitcher Clay Christoff also gave
- 2:00Ottawa's four pitchers on the day. Starter Colt Bryson three
- 2:04IP two R two R three H three BB five K,
- 2:06and relievers Noah Marvin win one IP zero R zero
- 2:09H zero BB two K, Jack Carroll one IP zero
- 2:11R two H one BB two K and George Shumway
- 2:13to IP two R zero R one h one BB
- 2:16two K pro a lot more cushion than they would require. Well,
- 2:20Ottawa has been rolling since late April. Streeter, now eight
- 2:24seventeen to one, has been going in the opposite direction.
- 2:27The Bulldogs have now dropped four straight and eight of
- 2:31their past ten ballgames. The inning Ottawa scored seven, said
- 2:35Street or coach bo Albert. It starts off with a
- 2:38couple walks. We don't make two routine plays. We had
- 2:41an out at the plate, an out at first and
- 2:43threw the ball away. You can't give a good team
- 2:45a big inning like that. It's hard to come back.
- 2:49I wasn't too upset with a lot of the at
- 2:51bats we had, except for the strikeouts early with runners
- 2:54in scoring position. We've got to do something with that situation.
- 2:59We've talked about these things all year. We've got to
- 3:02adjust and fix it or we're gonna keep doing the
- 3:05same things and hope for a different result. It's not
- 3:08gonna be a good result. We've just got to start
- 3:11with tomorrow's game, find a way to have fun playing
- 3:14baseball and see if we can't get on a roll.

- 3:46sixth streeter never truly threatened after Ottawa broke it open
- 3:50with the seven run third. Christoph, with an RBI fielders
- 3:54choice a single in a run scoring double, was the
- 3:57Bulldog's top hitter. Cole Win Road added an RBID double
