Published July 02, 2009 12:17 pm - Tournament continues through Sunday in Bartlesville. Bandits fall to Hillcrest in Winget Tourney By JEREMY SHORT Press Sports Editor TAHLEQUAH DAILY PRESS — The Oklahoma Bandits got off to a good start on Wednesday, but could not hold on as they fell 11-6 to Springfield Hillcrest in the first day of the Winget Tournament in Bartlesville.
Oklahoma scored three runs in the top of the first. Matt Crawley and Chase Goodnight reached base on a double and single, respectively, and Crawley scored on an error for the first run of the game. Steven Chuculate then scored Goodnight on an RBI single. Chuculate scored later in the inning on a passed ball to give the Bandits the early 3-0 lead. After Hillcrest scored one in their half of the first, the Bandits came back with three more runs in the second. Sam Hoag led off the inning with a double, then Shane Wesley came up and delivered an RBI double to score Hoag. Wesley then advanced and scored on a wild pitch to put Oklahoma up 5-1. The final run of the inning and the game for the Bandits came when Shay Richhart scored on a double steal with Chuculate taking second. In the fourth, Oklahoma threatened to put more runs on the board, but left the bases loaded. The Bandits held the 6-1 lead until the bottom of the third when Hillcrest pilled on six runs to retake the lead 7-6. Hillcrest then held Oklahoma at bay and scored four runs of their own to claim the five-run victory. The Bandits were retired in order in both the sixth and seventh innings. Blake Cantrell started the game for the Bandits and went the first two innings before giving way to Jarrett Travis, who pitched the final four innings in relief. The Bandits next game in Thursday when they resume play in the Winget Tournament against Blue Valley West at 1:30 p.m. Press Special Writer Lynn Womack contributed to this article.
