Bears Bust Out for Big Comeback Win at North Lake
IRVING, Texas – Dallas College Brookhaven's baseball team exploded for 11 runs in the late innings in a 17-11 win at Dallas College North Lake Friday.
The Bears (11-16, 2-6 Dallas Athletic Conference) scored six runs in the seventh inning and five in the eighth to break open a game they trailed 7-0 after two innings. The win evened the three-game series at a game apiece.
Game 3 is set for 12 p.m. Saturday at North Lake.
Caden Roeschen lined a single to center with one out in the seventh to give Brookhaven a 10-9 lead. George Sheppard's RBI single up the middle and an error on the play allowed another run to score, giving the Bears a three-run lead. Roeschen's two-run single and Bo Dinscore's three-run home run – his second long ball of the game – extended the lead to eight one inning later.
Dinscore was 3-for-5 with two homers and five runs batted in. He leads the Bears with six home runs. Sheppard had four hits, including a double, two walks and two RBI. Roeschen was 2-for-6 with three RBI.
North Lake (14-13, 6-2) scored four runs in the first inning to grab the early lead. Leo Salas, who went 5-for-5, doubled in a run. Joseph Binder singled home Salas, and an error on the play allowed another run to score. One inning later, Robert Farr tripled in a run, Michael Holden singled home a run for the second time in as many innings, and then scored on an RBI groundout by Binder as the Blazers sprinted to a seven-run lead.
But the Bears picked up a run on a bases-loaded walk by Dalton Stanley in the fourth, and added three more in the fifth on an RBI walk by Sheppard, Landon Kerkmaz's sacrifice fly and Ray Jaramillo's RBI single to left, cutting it to 7-4. Dinscore's first homer, a two-run shot in the sixth, made it 7-6.
Binder crushed a two-run homer to center in the bottom of the sixth gave North Lake a three-run cushion. But the Bears took control of the game in the following inning when Rudy Rocha singled home a run, Alex Rangel tripled in two more, and Roeschen's run-scoring single provided the go-ahead score.
