Seniors Rob Case and Eric Collins homered for the Caps varsity on Senior Night at Wiley Warren Field. But their power display was not enough to overcome Heritage’s offense and 7 errors committed by the Caps’ defense.
Case homered in the 1st inning to stake the Caps to an early lead but the visitors scored 5 runs in the 3rd inning to seize the momentum. Collins responded with his homer in the bottom half of the 3rd inning to briefly stall the Heritage momentum.
But the Caps’ pitching and defense could not hold off Heritage in the final game of the regular season.
Offensive leaders for the game: Dom Ford (2 – 2, 2BB, 2 RBI), Ben Sawyer (1 – 4, 2 RBI), Rob Case (1 – 2, HR, 2 RBI, run), Eric Collins (1 – 2, 2BB, HR, RBI, run), Ben Eller (1 – 3), Jake Baize (1 – 1, 2B, run), John Woods (2 – 2, 2B, RBI, run) and Noah Yarborough (1 – 1, run).
