Cavaliers capture exciting 5-4 win over Dragons in game one of doubleheader

BOSSIER CITY, La. - In game one of Monday's Region XIV doubleheader at the BPCC Baseball Field, Cole Ketzner's RBI single in the bottom of the fifth scored Gabriel Cabrea to give the BPCC Cavaliers a 5-4 lead. Cabrera, who had two hits in the game, singled to leadoff the inning then stole second before Ketzner's single scored him from second base.

BPCC had jumped out to a 3-0 lead on PJC, before the Dragons scored four runs in the fourth to take a 4-3 lead. In the bottom of the fourth, BPCC tied the game on Ron Franklin's RBI single which plated Collin Young, who had reached on a one-out double.

Zach Boyer earned the win for BPCC by holding PJC scoreless over two and a third innings. He allowed two hits, one walk, but fanned three in relief of starter Justin Lawson. Daniel Shafer got his fourth save of the season by pitching a scoreless seventh. He did issue a pair of walks but also struck out two, including Dragons' catcher Junior Riggs to end the game.
