The Dunsmuir Tigers met the American Christian Academy Eagles baseball team on Tuesday for an Evergreen League doubleheader at Big League Dreams in Redding. Both teams entered the match unbeaten in league play and looking to stay atop the Evergreen standings.

The Tigers plated seven runs in the fifth inning of the opener and were three outs away from victory. But, the Eagles rallied with two outs in the seventh for an 8-9 victory.
The Eagles used a couple big innings to take the nightcap completing the sweep with an 11-5 victory.

The Eagles took a 1-0 lead in the first inning of the opener. Malachi May took a lead off walk, stole second and scored on a double by Coleman Petit.

Tiger hurler Mason Mekeel fanned 14 batters in the opener but struggled with control in the third inning walking four Eagles batters. Jackson Tuxhorn and Andrew Pellascio singled in runs to give the Eagles a 3-0 edge.

The Tiger hitters came to life in the fifth, bringing 11 batters to the plate, and scoring seven runs in the inning. Cody Hagedon hit a lead off single and scored on Brian Taylor’s triple to right-center field. Mekeel singled home Taylor, and Justin Declusin singled to left to keep the rally going. Tommy Stibi came to the plate with one out and the bases loaded, and drove in two runs with a bloop single to center. The Tigers scored a run on a throwing error, and Hagedon singled home Palmer to put Dunsmuir up, 7-3. (more…)
