Elk Grove sent 12 batters to the plate in a nine-run seventh inning to beat Davis High 12-3 on Friday night. The outburst came after DHS rallied to tie the game in the bottom of the sixth.
With two runs already in and the bases loaded, Josh McMahon hit a triple to dead centerfield, which all but ended any chance the Blue Devils (16-5, 7-2 Delta Valley Conference) had to come back in the bottom of the seventh.
Thundering Herd (11-8, 6-3) starting pitcher Troy Watson kept the Blue Devil hitters off balance for six innings allowing only five hits and three runs. He worked out of a jam and minimized the damage in the bottom of the sixth in what was DHS’ best chance to put up a big inning.
Pinch hitter Kyle Williams was hit by a 0-2 pitch with the bases loaded in the bottom of the sixth to tie the game. But Watson got Jeff Boulware to ground out to end the threat and keep the game tied at 3.
