(Temple City) – Ben Sanderson fanned 10 and allowed just one run in five innings as Temple City beat La Salle Prep of Milwaukie, Oregon 8-1 Thursday. Temple City’s pitchers struck out 14 in all and the offense did the rest rapping out nine hits.
The Rams were already leading 3-1 when they delivered the knock out blow in the fourth with five runs and four hits. They also had three batters hit by a pitch as they sent 10 batters to the plate.
Corey Copping and Julian Jarrard each came off in relief of Sanderson and each retired the side in the sixth and seventh innings. Copping also contributed at the plate with a two run double to the gap in right in the fourth.
Kyle Starling led off and walked before taking off from third for the game’s first run on a botched double play after Sanderson’s lineout in the first to short was underthrown towards first base.
The Falcons responded in the second inning as Spencer Savage singled and Kyle Studdard walked to set up Cody Farnes’ RBI double to deep left center to draw even.
It would be the lone run for La Salle Prep as TC went ahead for good in the bottom half with a pair. Jake Halverson singled with a short hopper into left and later crossed home on a wild pitch before Alec “Bubba” Vigil (2-3, RBI, run, SB) followed suit with a liner over second base. Cameron Le Grand’s sacrifice bunt would set up Vigil to score on Starling’s sacrifice fly to center to make it 3-1.
