Tied 4-4 in the bottom of the seventh inning, Red Demon Omar Donjuan hit a single that scored Adrian Mendoza, and the Dodge City Red Demons boys baseball team beat Hutchinson in the first game of Friday’s doubleheader by a score of 5-4.
The win ended a four-game losing streak for the Red Demons. Donjuan finished with a team-high two RBIs. Donjuan also had a hit, matching the team-high with Blaine Winans, Roman Rodriguez, Alden Knedler and Adrian Mendoza.
The second game had a lot of similarities. Both teams were tied 4-4 going into the bottom of the seventh, and the Red Demons won it by a walk-off RBI single as well, this one coming off the bat of junior Noah Sowers, driving in Wyatt Childress.
The Red Demons led going into the top of the seventh 4-1, but Hutchinson scored three in the their portion of the seventh to tie the game before Sowers eventually ended it. Sowers finished game two with two hits and two RBI’s, both team highs. Alden Knedler matched Sowers in hits, with two of his own as well. Adrian Mendoza had a team-high two runs in the second game.
The Red Demons are next in action next Firday, April 20, when they head to Garden City to take on the Buffaloes. That game is scheduled for 5 p.m. and will take place at Clint Lightner Field.
