Extra innings decided the Jersey Village (3-2) versus Cy Falls (2-4) game Wednesday night as Jersey Village came out on top, 2-1.

Cy Falls scored first after three-and-a-half scoreless innings. In the bottom of the fourth, pitcher Brittany Taylor got a hit with one out. Kelly Krietman sacrificed a bunt and beat the throw.

After a strikeout for the second out, first baseman Kari Smith got to first on an error, which scored Taylor for Eagles’ first run.

Following their opponents, Jersey Village started a rally and tied the game.

“We were down by one, which they got on an error, and we didn’t sulk on it,” said Jersey Village coach Bruce Beets. “We came back and responded.”

Allison Sullivan reached first with one out. Pirita Yri-Valkama followed with a hit to load first and second base. Samantha Salazar got the third hit in a row and scored Selsey Fritz, who was a courtesy runner for Sullivan.

The last few innings were quiet as far as hits go until the top of the eighth when Jersey Village scored, what turned out to be the winning run.

Molly Gorrie got a hit followed by a double, with two outs, to score Gorrie and win the game, 2-1.

“I knew we were going to score because we were putting the ball in play,” said Beets. “And I give them all the credit.”

Jersey Village plays Langham Creek tomorrow for another 17-5A district game.
