Rivalry renewed

In what could be the last game in any sport between the two schools in the near future, the Davis High baseball team defeated Woodland 4-2 at Clark Field. It was the first loss of the year for the Wolves.

Brendan Gill was the star of the game for the Blue Devils (4-1) as he went five innings allowing two runs – only one of which was earned – on four hits while striking out five and walking none. The senior also blasted a two-run homer to left-center in the first inning.

Woodland (4-1) entered the contest having allowed just one run in its previous four games, but the Blue Devils put three on the board in the first inning. The Wolves cut the deficit to one with a run in each of the second and fourth innings but Gill was able to work out of jams in both instances to limit the damage.

Cory MacDonald and Trevor Cecil combined with Gill to slow down a Wolves offense that was averaging 10 runs per game. MacDonald pitched a scoreless sixth inning and Cecil closed it out in the seventh to pick up the save.
