The Burton Panthers made a late move to victory on Friday afternoon in an impressive late-inning performance against Tidehaven.<\/p>\n
Burton scored three runs in both the fifth and sixth inning to take down the Class 3A Tigers 7-2 in the second day of the Weimar tournament.<\/p>\n
The Panthers trailed 2-1 heading into the fifth inning before catcher Braydon Martin pushed Burton to the lead with a two-RBI single into left field. Senior third baseman Ryder Biggs added a two-out RBI single into left field to move the Panthers into a 4-2 lead.<\/p>\n
A key double play in the top of the sixth helped the Panthers get the bats back in their hands.<\/p>\n
Coy Gurka scored on a Tidehaven error in the bottom of the sixth before center fielder Rueben Rodriguez put a two-RBI single into left field to give Burton a 7-2 lead. Rodriguez tallied his second and third RBI of the game with his second hit of the afternoon.<\/p>\n
Rodriguez, the fourth hitter in Burton\u2019s lineup, was part of a four-man Panther group with two hits. Burton\u2019s second, third, fourth and fifth hitters in its order collected multiple hits as pitcher Eli Jaeger, Biggs and Martin also turned in two-hit days.<\/p>\n
Biggs collected his first multi-hit game of the season on Friday while Martin added his third two-hit game of the year. Rodriguez turned in his seventh multi-hit game this season and Jaeger collected his fourth multi-hit game of his junior campaign.<\/p>\n
Jaeger pitched all six innings and struck out three Tidehaven hitters. He allowed two hits, runs and walks in his third outing on the mound this season.<\/p>\n
The Panthers will begin district play at 1 p.m. on Tuesday against Iola.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Burton Panthers made a late move to victory on Friday afternoon in an impressive late-inning performance against…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":610749,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[2288],"tags":[2315,2309,5,2316,2323,2314,2317,2313,2325,2331,19,2310,2328,2304,2318,2308,2319,4,2305,2303,2307,2327,2321,185,2324,2311,2312,1039],"class_list":{"0":"post-610748","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-mlb-postseason","8":"tag-athletic-sports","9":"tag-ball-and-bat-games","10":"tag-baseball","11":"tag-baseball-competitions","12":"tag-baseball-events","13":"tag-baseball-finals","14":"tag-baseball-games","15":"tag-baseball-playoffs-and-champions","16":"tag-baseball-teams","17":"tag-batting-order-baseball","18":"tag-major-league-baseball","19":"tag-major-league-baseball-competitions","20":"tag-major-league-baseball-playoffs","21":"tag-major-league-baseball-postseason","22":"tag-major-league-baseball-seasons","23":"tag-major-league-baseball-teams","24":"tag-major-league-baseball-teams-seasons","25":"tag-mlb","26":"tag-mlb-playoffs","27":"tag-mlb-postseason","28":"tag-outdoor-sports","29":"tag-seasons-in-american-sport","30":"tag-seasons-in-baseball","31":"tag-sports","32":"tag-sports-events","33":"tag-team-sports","34":"tag-turf-sports","35":"tag-world-series"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610748","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=610748"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610748\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/610749"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=610748"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=610748"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/mlb\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=610748"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
