The Chipola Indians picked up three straight wins in the Panhandle Conference before dropping a game to Tallahassee on Monday. With the recent contests Chipola’s record now stands at 15-13 overall and 3-2 in conference play. Last Wednesday the Indians downed Pensacola by a score of 9-3. Three Indians batters went deep as Cody Martin, Joey Rapp and Michael Revell all stroked home runs. Garrett Baker got the win on the mound as he went 4 2/3 innings, giving up three hits, two runs and striking out three batters. Chipola fell behind 1-0 in the second inning but bounced back with four runs in the bottom of the fourth inning. They added two more in the fifth and three more in the eighth to notch the win.
They followed that win with a slugfest win over the Pirates on Friday in Pensacola. Chipola pounded out 14 hits en route to a 12-11 win. Josh Allen had a big day as he went 4-4 with two runs scored and three RBI. C.J. Riefenhauser was the winning pitcher going four innings and giving up eight hits, allowing three runs and striking out two batters. Baker came in the game as well and recorded a save. Chipola took an early 6-1 lead and then pushed it to a 9-2 lead in the fifth inning. They pushed that lead to 11-3 but then saw the Pirates rally to make a game of it. Pensacola scored eight runs in three innings to pull within one run. But the Indians held on for the close one run victory.
This past Saturday the Indians began their series against Tallahassee at home and came away with a 5-3 victory. LeVon Washington’s three run homer in the third inning proved to be the difference in the game. Washington went 2-3 with three runs scored and three RBI. Cody Martin went 2-4 with one RBI. Austin Wright was the winning pitcher as he threw 7 2/3 innings, giving up six hits, three runs and striking out seven Eagles. Rodney Quintero picked up a save in relief work for the Indians.
Game two of the Tallahassee series was on the road Monday and Chipola fell 7-1. It was just one of those days where not much good happened to the Indians. They were out hit 13-3 by the Eagles and trailed 6-0 before scoring their only run of the game in the top of the sixth inning. Three Indian errors did not help their cause.
The Indians were slated to play host to Tallahassee in the final game of this three games series on Wednesday in Marianna. Results of that contest were not available at press time. Gulf Coast is next up on the conference schedule as the upcoming three game series begins on Friday in Panama City. On Saturday the Indians play host to the Commodores at 1:00 pm and game three will be back in Panama City on Monday.
