Another triple play in boys? 7&8 league

The fancy glovework continues in the boys? 7- and 8-year-old coach-pitch league.

Nicholas Williamson turned yet another unassisted triple play at Mansfield Field Tuesday night, becoming the third player in the league to pull off that feat this summer and helping his team hold on for a narrow win.

Williamson and his teammates from Ben Lomand Telephone improved to 3-1, winnign 17-15 as the triple play stopped a Hoover and Son Insurance surge in the fourth inning.

Cole Estes had a home run and a triple for BLT, while Austin Melton ? who turned a triple-killing of his own Saturday ? homered for Hoover and Son.

Williamson, Estes and Will Smartt had three hits apiece for the winning cause, with teammates Cody Newby, Trey Cantrell, Treyton Carothers and Skylar Wamsley contributing two hits apiece.

For Hoover and Son, who led 9-6 after two innings before BLT took command with a five-run fourth, Melton, Logan Greer and Trayton Rackley had four hits each.

Harrison Wood, Ezra Dizon, Hunter Moore and Dalton Taylor added three apiece.

In Tuesday?s early game, the ABC Ice Astros jumped into a share of first place as they ran their unbeaten record to 4-0 with a 24-5 thrashing of Quality Mold.

The Astros, who were led by a 5-for-5 night from Lucas Rogers, took an early 9-0 lead, and scored 11 unanswered runs over the final two frames to put the game out of reach of their opponents, who fell to 0-2 on the season.

Isaac Golden, Aaron Jones, Tyler Prater and Paxton Smith each added four hits, while Tyler Steele and Thomas Judkins had three apiece.

Quality Mold got two-hit games from Braydon Lewis, Grant Hitchcock and Blathen Woodlee.
