Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:02):
The highlights in this one is Yukon opened up with
Xavier number two against number three. We begin in the
first inning Tyler Minnick two runners on, after the Huskies
get Spur hit reached on an air about the shortstop.
Daniels singled, and Tyler Minnick was at the plate all right,

(00:25):
the three to zero and he hits it in the
air to right field and deep and up against the
wall and it's on a here. Tyler Minnick ripped one
up the right center field gap and looked like it
might stay in and then clears the wall and Yukon
leads three nothing. It was number twenty one on the year,
sixty nine ribbies for Tyler and a three nothing lead

(00:48):
for Yukon's second inning, Caleb Spur was at the plate
after a two hour walk to Brian Padilla and then
a hit by pitch Rober Spoldi and Caleb Spur the
red right hand hitting center fielder two to ozh. Spur
hits it in the air to right field on the

(01:09):
run the center fielder and treading back to the wall
and it hit the top of the wall and I
think it went out of here. It is a three
run homer. The center fielder Aiden Anderson was on the run.
He ran into the wall and the ball hit the
top of the wall. He went out. Caleb Spur with
a three run bomb and u Con three run homers

(01:31):
in the first and second leading six to nothing, and
it was number seven for Caleb you Con six nothing
lead in the third inning. The top of the third,
Xavier started their comeback. Jake Lambdon at the pleate hitting
the air to left field on the run back to
the wall and it is gone. Goodbye. Home run by

(01:53):
the leadoff man, Jake Lambdell. Lambden's home run got Xavier
going and they did not stop. In the third inning,
they were able to get another run, in fact, scored
four runs. Connor Mitch their first basement with an extra
base hit hot shot the left center that's gonna score

(02:15):
a run, might get to the wall. Caleb Spur cut
it off. A second run is gonna score for Xavier
and they are back within three, six to three with
a three run rally and nobody out there on the
top of the third inning, you Con would answer with
one in the bottom of the third inning as the
Huskies with a one out single by Sam Biller and

(02:38):
with two outs. It was Graham MacArthur at the plee.
All right, Weber's pitch breaking ball chopped to the right side.
Nobody there, It's gonna go through base heading. Biller's gonna score. Oh,
they had him played to pull and the graat MacArthur
hit a seven hopper went through the goal in the
right field and extends their lead. And so MacArthur's two

(03:05):
out single made it seven to four. But Xavier would
continue to rally and Jim Pender's was just telling us
they don't give up. The Musketeers. They play a tough
schedule and now they're going to play in the winner's
bracket here in this tournament, in their own backyard. They
were able to get one run back in the eighth
inning on a home run which came from Luke Hammond,

(03:29):
and that was the last man that Ian Cook would face.
He pitched three sound innings and Jim Penders was pretty
happy about that. But after the home run was given
up in the eighth inning, it cut the lead down
for Yukon dou eight five. Brady Atham came in and
was throwing lightning out there. He struck out three men
back to back to back to in the eighth inning

(03:50):
two looking, and then the ninth inning it was Brady
back to the mound again trying to hold the lead
and win this thing and get the save. He was
facing Hayden Christiansen eight six Huskies with the lead, two outs,
pitch hot shot through the middle, base hit the runner

(04:11):
will score from third and the runner from second, and
a two out pinch hit single by Xavier has tied
the ball game at eight. And in the ninth inning,
with the eight to eight score, we had to go
to the tenth and extra innings. Yukhon had a chance

(04:31):
in the bottom of the ninth inning, yet the runners
in scoring position Sam Biller had a single, stole a base,
moved a third on a base hit ground ball part
of me, and then a hit batsman MacArthur was hitting
that brought up the pinch Eter bowl Root who hit
for Connor Lane the catcher, but he struck out to
end the ninth inning, and so we went to the

(04:54):
tenth where Connor Mish again was at the plate for Xavier.

Speaker 2 (05:00):
The count evens lambed in with above average speed, stands
its second, dancing his way to third. The pitch is
a swing and a line drive reached out and deposited
into centerfield. Lambd in rounds third and scores to throw
into second. Xavier enjoys its first lead of the night.
It comes in the tenth fitting. They're up nine to

(05:21):
eight on Yukon.

Speaker 1 (05:24):
And they would not stop there. Clay Burdett their right
field as sophomore right hand hitter, it had a rough night.
Struck out on the second, struck out again in the
third in the middle of a four run inning, struck
out again after a leadoff single on the fifth inning,
an end of the sixth and the six four to
three double play. But in the ninth inning he singled

(05:44):
and eventually came on to score in that inning the
tying run, and came up in the tenth inning, Clay
Burdett doing some major damage.

Speaker 2 (05:54):
Won one pitches, swing in a rocket out to right
center field, slicing up the alley and carries out of here.
Clay Burdette has made it comfortable for Xavier in extras.
It's eleven eight Musketeers.

Speaker 1 (06:18):
And that's where it would end. Eleven to eight.
