Bossier Parish wins a pair of one-run games to sweep doubleheader from Paris

BOSSIER CITY, La. – The Bossier Parish Community College Cavaliers won a pair of one-run games over the Paris Junior College Dragons to sweep Monday's doubleheader at the BPCC Baseball Field.

Mason Hammonds' single to left field scored Dylan Watts from second to give the Cavaliers a dramatic 12-11 walk-off win over the Dragons. Watts led off the inning with a double that one-hopped the left field wall. After Jaden Adams fouled out on a bunt attempt, Garrett Felix walked. With visibility quickly fading, Hammonds laced a single over the left fielder's head plating Watts with the winning run.

Daniel Shafer earned the win in relief as he pitched out of a bases loaded jam in the top of the ninth. After striking out the leadoff batter, Bryce Sitka legged out an infield single. After Bryce Sitka struck out, Sitka advanced to second on a wild pitch. Shafer then issued back-to-back walks to Camron Dollar and Shelby Becker.

Shafer should've been out of the inning but BPCC catcher Cole Ketzner misplayed a foul ball that kept Becker's at-bat alive before eventually drawing the base on balls. Shafer quickly fanned Dragons' clean-up hitter Hayden Johnson to end the drama and keep the game tied at 11. The strikeout was Johnson's fourth of the game.

Sulphur product Dalton LeBlanc suffered the loss for PJC despite striking out seven of the 13 batters he faced in his three innings of relief.
