COFFEYVILLE — Allen Community College’s hurlers had a rough go of it Thursday, dropping an 11-7 decision to Coffeyville. The game had been suspended from April 2 due to rain.
The Red Devils sent five pitchers into the contest. All five struggled, surrendering a combined nine hits and seven walks. Ten of Coffeyville’s 11 runs were earned. Allen also committed four errors.
The Red Devils took advantage of Raven miscues during a six-run fifth inning to get back into the contest.
Leading 8-1, Coffeyville starter Logan DeRosier was chased in the top of the fifth after he walked the bases loaded.
Tim Lewis greeted the reliever with an RBI single. Then Jerrik Sigg and Tyler Noel scored on a Coffeyville error for the second and third runs. Lewis scored on a passed ball before a pair of Coffeyville relievers served up two more walks to load the bases. Another walk to Garrett Rasch scored Troy Willoughby. Sigg was hit by a pitch to score Drew Walden.
But a ground-out to Noel left the base runners stranded and ACC still trailing by one, 8-7.
Coffeyville scored two in the fifth and one in the sixth for insurance.
The Red Devils, conversely, left two runners on base in both the sixth and seventh innings without scoring.
Reliever Jordan Hicks was pegged with the loss. He gave up two hits and three walks in two innings. Nate Arnold started, giving up two runs without allowing a hit and striking out two.
Grant McMillan, Lucas Westervelt and Seth Jones went a combined 2 2/3 innings, allowing seven hits and three walks.
Lewis had two hits, including a double. Trey Francis had two singles. Cody Amerine and Walden singled once. Sigg went 0-for-1 with three walks and two runs scored.
The Red Devils are in Highland today and Sunday for a pair of doubleheaders.
