Diamond Rangers Swept by Wolfpack

SENATOBIA – Northwest suffered a rare baseball home sweep on Saturday against the visiting Co-Lin Wolfpack, falling 14-6 and 8-4 at Jim Miles Field.

Northwest fell to 17-11 overall and 5-5 in conference play, while Co-Lin improved to 11-14 and 6-4 and snapped a 12-game losing streak to the Rangers.

Co-Lin jumped out to a commanding 7-0 lead in the opener after three innings and led 8-0 in the sixth before the Rangers began to mount a comeback.

After the first two runners reached on free passes in the bottom of the sixth, Aaron Campbell's RBI-double put Northwest on the board to make it 8-2. Bailey Nix's RBI-groundout and Grant McMinn's RBI-double quickly cut the lead in half before Justin Milam's two-run bomb to left made it 8-6. A foul out with the bases loaded, however, stranded three to end the inning.

The Wolfpack immediately responded to put the game out of reach, with Conner Wilkinson's bases-clearing double after two walks and a hit-by-pitch extending the lead back to 11-6 after seven. Co-Lin added three more in the eighth for a 14-6 final.

Jarod Wright (3-2) lasted just two innings in the loss, allowing six runs off six hits with two strikeouts. Christian Day (2-2) went 5.2 frames for Co-Lin, scattering five runs off five hits with three strikeouts. Zach James picked up his first save of the year with 3.1 hitless innings to close the game.

Co-Lin out-hit Northwest 14-8, with C.J. Estave going 3-for-6 and four others finishing with multiple hits. 

Trailing 2-0 after two in the nightcap, Northwest rallied to tie the game and took its first lead, 3-2, in the fifth on Milam's two-out, two-run double down the left field line.

The lead was short-lived, however, with Co-Lin exploding for six runs (all unearned) in the sixth to regain the lead 8-3. Two Ranger errors kept the inning alive which should've ended after three batters, and the Wolfpack sent seven more to the plate.

David Herrington's sac fly in the bottom of the sixth made the final 8-4.

Blake Sigrest (3-3) picked up the win for Co-Lin in 2.2 relief innings, while Nathan Harrison (2-3) allowed five unearned runs in 1.1 innings to suffer the loss.

Northwest finished with 10 total errors on the day in the sweep against only one error for Co-Lin.

Northwest will continue a 10-game homestand on April 5, welcoming Coahoma to Jim Miles Field for a 3 p.m. doubleheader.
