Never count out the Kentridge High baseball team.<\/p>\n
The Chargers proved as much Tuesday afternoon, storming back from a five-run, seventh-inning deficit to knock of Federal Way 7-6 in a South Puget Sound League North Division game.<\/p>\n
It was Kentridge’s fourth straight win and helps the Chargers go into Wednesday’s doubleheader against Kentwood tied for second in the North Division standings.<\/p>\n
Confidence booster?<\/p>\n
“It gives us more than we had when it was 6-2,” quipped Kentridge coach John Flanigan. “We were pretty flat at the beginning of the game. Guys just got on a roll and got it done.”<\/p>\n
Indeed.<\/p>\n
Things looked bleak at best for the Chargers with one out and nobody on base in the bottom of the seventh.<\/p>\n
Then Kentridge’s bats came alive.<\/p>\n
Cody Hamada put plated the game-winning run with an RBI single to right field. Ben Mora, Hayden Njos, Jason Didis and Shayne Mathews all had RBIs in the inning.<\/p>\n
“This is huge,” Flanigan said. “Guys were stepping up and making plays. Last year, I don’t know that we would have gotten this one.”<\/p>\n
Guys certainly stepped up. Chris Hamre delivered 1 2\/3 innings of strong relief to pick up the win. Craig Rasmussen led the offense, going 4-for-4 with an RBI and a run scored.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
