The Little Cypress-Mauriceville Bears and the Orangefield Bobcats staged another wild ball game Friday night at Paul Cormier Field. The LC-M Bears scored five runs in the seventh inning to pull out the 9-8 victory and sweep the two-game series with the Bobcats.
The lead seesawed back and forth in the game. The Bears took an early 2-0 lead, only to have the Bobcats tie the game in the second. LC-M took a 4-2 advantage in the third before Orangefield rolled up the next six runs to take an 8-4 lead going into the last inning.
In the top of the seventh, the Bears’ number nine hitter John Beeson led off with a single to left. Jordan Alexander bounced a single just fair past third base to start some consternation on the Orangefield side of the bleachers. Reid Saperstein walked to load the bases, and pitcher Blake Bradley who relieved starter Mason Gonzales in the third was taken out.
The new Bobcat pitcher Johnny Armstrong got Michael Lee to hit a slow roller towards shortstop, Kaedon Evans who fielded it cleanly had no play anywhere. The lead was down to three with the bases still loaded.
Truman Franklin was up next and got new life when he just managed to foul tip a two-strike pitch. Armstrong then struck Franklin out on a 3-2 pitch for the first out.
Chris Bilbo batted next. Bilbo started the game on the mound for the Bears and left after three and a third innings with the lead. He singled to left, the ball eluded the Bobcat left fielder, and went all the way to fence. Three Bears scored to tie the game 8-8 with still only one out and a runner at second.
Anthony Bandiero singled to center with Bilbo stopping at third. Taylor Gilbert hit a topper over the mound that second baseman Ryan Deutsch made a super play on to get a force at second, but Bilbo scored to make it 9-8 in favor of the Bears. Armstrong retired Max Dileo to end the inning.
Bandiero who came on in the sixth for LC-M to pitch faced the Bobcats in the seventh. He earned the win retiring Orangefield’s three hitters in order.
Orangefield has two games with West Orange-Stark next week. Little Cypress-Mauriceville plays Silsbee.

The Little Cypress-Mauriceville Lady Bears completed a sweep in their two-game series with the Orangefield Lady Bobcats Friday. Brianna Frenzel pitched her second shutout of the week for a 3-0 Lady Bears win at Paul Cormier Park.
Frenzel was not as dominate as she was Tuesday when she pitched a one-hitter with eleven strikeouts. The Lady Bobcats tagged the LC-M junior for four hits on Friday. Three of the four hits were for extra bases, two doubles and a triple. Kaylee Ancelot had one of the doubles which missed being a homerun by just inches. Frenzel walked one and struck out four.
The Lady Bears stranded seven runners in the first three innings without scoring. Two weak fielding plays by Orangefield fueled a two-run rally in the fourth.
Madison Murdock and Olivia Leavings both reached base on infield grounders that the Lady Bobcats failed to register an out on either one. Another grounder moved Murdock and courtesy runner Alicia Merritt to third and second. Ally White hit a sacrifice fly to center for the first run of the game. After Brianna Frenzel walked her sister Bailey grounded a single to left to bring in Merritt and make the score 2-0 in favor of LC-M.
In the bottom of the fifth Olivia Grant scorched a liner to first that had hit written all over it. Jayce Perry snagged it for an important first out. With two outs Kristin Broussard tripled to the center field fence. Karlye Bramblett grounded out to shortstop, Renna Toomey making one of several nice fielding plays in the game to retire the side.
Olivia Leavings led off the sixth for the Lady Bears. She hit a fly ball down the left field line that appeared to be going foul with a strong wind blowing it, but the ball stayed fair and cleared the fence by a few feet for a homerun to give LC-M the final three-run advantage. It was her first homerun of the season.
The Lady Bears play Silsbee twice next week. Orangefield has two games with West Orange-Stark.
