CPHS Baseball: Sandites top Sapulpa 8-6 at Regional Playoffs

Owasso - The Charles Page High School baseball team (23-10) kicked off the Regional Tournament Wednesday afternoon with an 8-6 victory over their arch-rivals.

The Sapulpa Chieftains (23-10-1) upset the host team from Owasso High School (26-8) in the first round of the tournament, but followed the 6-5 victory with a loss to the Sandites.

Sapulpa jumped out to an early lead with a 2RBI home run from Gage Williams and held a 2-0 advantage till the bottom of the fifth. 

Sand Springs loaded the bases with singles from Cal Watkins and Riley Rutledge, and a walk from Braden Askew. Watkins and courtesy runner Garrett McCallie came in on a single from Tyler Ash to tie the game.

Ty Steelman (3-0) took over for Braden Askew (4-3) in the top of the sixth as the Chieftains reclaimed the lead with two hits, a walk, and a pair of sacrifice flies. Cody Rossman and Bennett Henderson batted in Ethan Williams and Kyle Alcorn, respectively, for a 4-2 lead.

The Sandites put the game away in the bottom of the inning with eight hits and six runs to make it 8-4. Cale Savage doubled in Jacob Snodgrass, Watkins singled to score Kameron Adcock, and Rutledge doubled in Steelman for their first lead of the day. Ash batted in Watkins and Rutledge and scored on a single from Kyler Copeland for their final runs of the game.

Evan Casey walked and Gage Williams singled in the top of the seventh and both scored on a double from Ethan Williams, but Savage sent a ground ball to first base to secure the win.

Askew pitched seven hits, two strikeouts, and one walk in the first five innings. Steelman got the win with three hits and two walks in the final two innings. 

Sand Springs will return to action right away with a game against Owasso. The double-elimination tournament will continue Thursday with a rematch of Sand Springs vs Sapulpa.

CPHS Baseball: Regional assignment and regular season statistics

Lucas Adcock has hit the only grand slam of the season thus far for Sand Springs. 

With the regular season behind them, it's do or die for the Charles Page High School varsity baseball team. This week the Sandites will depart for their Regional Tournament as they hope to earn a ticket to the State Championship at Oral Roberts University.

The Sandites had a tough start to the season, going 4-6 before rattling off fourteen straight victories, the second-longest win streak of any 6A team this season. Since their streak came to an end they have won four and lost four and are coming off a 4-0 Senior Night upset to Southmoore. 

Sand Springs finished the regular season 22-10 overall with a 7-5 district record for fourth place in district standings. They also took first place at the Spartan-Tiger Turf War in mid-April. 

The double-elimination Regional Tournament will begin Wednesday at Owasso High School. The host team will play Sapulpa at 10:00 a.m. The Sandites will play a Highway 97 Rivalry game against Sapulpa at 12:30 p.m., then will play Owasso at 3:00 p.m. 

Owasso (25-7) won their district with a 10-2 record. Of their seven losses this year, only three came at the hands of Oklahoma teams. Sand Springs has defeated two of those three. 

Sapulpa (22-9-1) placed fourth in the same district with Owasso. The Rams defeated the Chieftains 1-0 and 6-1 in district action. 

The Sandites have yet to meet Owasso this year, but fell 9-4 to Sapulpa on April 20th. 

The Regional tournament will be held at Stigall Field on the campus of Owasso High School at 12901 East 86th Street North.

CPHS Baseball: Sandites throttle Muskogee 15-0 and 7-2 in double-header

Riley Rutledge set the single-game season record for Sand Springs with eleven strikeouts.

After dropping two district games to Jenks earlier this week, the Charles Page High School varsity baseball team (20-8, 6-4) bounced back with a pair of dominant wins against Muskogee High School (3-25, 1-11) Wednesday evening.

The Sandites previously took a 14-0 lead against the Roughers before being rained out in the bottom of the third inning three weeks earlier. They picked up where they left off Wednesday.

Sand Springs loaded the bases right away with two walks and an error. Ty Steelman batted in Riley Rutledge for a 15-0 lead. The rest of the game was uneventful and the Sandites secured the run-rule victory in the fifth inning. 

Braden Askew (4-3, 7-5) got the win on the mound, pitching a no hitter with no walks and six strikeouts in the three innings played in March. Cale Savage (0-0, 1-1) pitched the Wednesday continuation and threw two strikeouts and two walks. 

Game two went the distance and wasn't as much of a blowout as their first meeting, but was still a handy Sand Springs victory at 7-2.

Tyler Ash kicked things off with a first inning double and scored the opening run on a groundout from Cal Watkins. Pryce Jackson tied it up in the top of the fourth with a double to score Devonte Gandy.

The Sandites jumped back out front soon after when Watkins scored on an error and Askew brought in Garrett McCallie on a single.

Sand Springs loaded the bases with a trio of walks in the fifth. Ash singled in Kameron Adcock, Braden Millican scored on a ground ball from Watkins, and McCallie and Ty Steelman scored on errors to make it 7-1.

Max Rosson reached on an error in the top of the seventh and came in on a double from Kaunor Ashley, but Rutledge caught a line drive on the next play to secure the win. 

Rutledge (1-0) pitched the first five innings and threw eleven strikeouts, four hits, and two walks for his first career win. Tyler Ash (2-1) tossed one hit and two strikeouts in relief. 

Sand Springs Baseball will return to action Friday at 7:00 p.m. in a non-district rivalry bout with Sapulpa (18-7). Youth players in uniform will receive free admission to Youth Night and will get to join the varsity squad on the field for the National Anthem.

CPHS Baseball: 14 game win streak comes to an end against Jenks

The Charles Page High School varsity baseball team (18-8, 4-4) won fourteen games in a row before their incredible streak came to a close this week.

After defeating Jenks High School 5-1 en route to a Spartan/Tiger Turf War championship last weekend, the Sandites dropped a pair of district games against the Trojans (14-12, 6-2) Monday and Tuesday evenings.

Both teams stranded a pair of runners each in the first inning of Monday's game, but the Trojans took the lead in the second as Jack Harding scored Josh Baker on a single. Torre Alavanja and Bryce Osmond scored in the second inning for a 3-0 lead before the Sandites made their way onto the board. 

Tyler Ash was hit by pitch in the bottom of the third, reached third base on an error, and scored on a sacrifice fly from Riley Rutledge, then Braden Askew singled to score Cal Watkins to keep the game close.

The Trojans made a statement in the fourth inning with two doubles and a single for a 5-2 lead, then Baker hit a single to bring in Alavanja and Osmond in the top of the sixth. 

Ty Steelman drew a walk in the seventh inning, took second on an error, and scored on a single from Watkins for the final run of the game. With two runners on base, Chris Spry took over on the mound and pitched three-straight strikeouts to secure the victory.

Tuesday's matchup was far closer and went into extra innings before the Trojans got the walkoff. 

Sand Springs took the initial lead as Rutledge drew a walk in the top of the first, stole second, and scored on a single from Askew. 

Jenks responded in the bottom of the first as Alavanja reached on an error, advanced on a single from Osmond, and scored on a single from Geo Blackshaw. 

The game was mostly uneventful from there till the bottom of the seventh when Jenks loaded the bases with two walks and a single. Watkins made a double play to Kyler Copeland to force extra innings. 

Jenks put it away in the bottom of the eighth with an error, a double, and a walk to load the bases. A strikeout and a force at home gave Sand Springs two outs, but Josh King drew four balls for the victory. 

Osmond, an Oklahoma State University-commit, pitched all eight innings for Jenks, giving up only three hits and one walk, while pitching ten strikeouts. Conner Dennis (3-1, 4-1) took the first loss of his career, throwing four hits, three walks, and four strikeouts. 

Sand Springs will host a doubleheader Wednesday at 5:30 p.m. when they resume a 14-0 third-inning lead in a rain-delayed district game against Muskogee (3-23, 1-9), followed by a full game. Jenks will play Southmoore (7-18, 2-6) Wednesday at 6:30 p.m.

The Sand Springs juggernaut is showing no signs of slowing down and the Charles Page High School baseball team secured their fourteenth-straight victory in the Championship round of the Spartan/Tiger Turf War. 

The Sandites (18-6) easily handed Booker T. Washington (11-13) an 11-3 loss with a dominant performance at the plate and on the mound.

Riley Rutledge scored Tyler Ash on a double and came in on a ground ball by Kyler Copeland for a 2-0 first inning lead. Wes Omalley scored on an error to get the Hornets on the board in the second inning, but Ash responded by doubling in Kameron Adcock and Ty Steelman.

A pair of errors in the top of the third helped the Hornets cut it to a one-run deficit, but Sand Springs exploded in the bottom of the inning for a 10-3 advantage. 

Kameron Adcock hit a sacrifice fly to score Cale Savage, then Copeland, Lucas Adcock, and Ty Steelman loaded the bases with two singles and a walk.
