CPHS Baseball: Sandites split district games with Jenks, Banker remains undefeated on the mound

The Charles Page High School varsity baseball team (17-6, 6-2) split a district home-and-home this week against Jenks (17-10, 8-2). They defeated the Trojans 5-1 Monday on the road, but fell 11-3 Tuesday on their home turf.

The teams managed ten hits apiece on Monday. Both gave up a mess of walks and reaches-on-errors. Sand Springs stranded nine and the Trojans stranded eleven.

Cal Watkins scored the opening run on an RBI double from Cale Savage in the top of the first. Kiefer Massey stole home in the second, then Jenks stranded loaded bases in the third and fourth innings.

Malachi Burks and Brycen Peterman hit back-to-back RBI doubles in the sixth, scoring runs from Massey and Burks for a 4-0 lead before the home team averted the shutout. Jake Lamar reached on an error and scored on a single from Bryson Diener to get Jenks on the board, then Keaton Campbell scored the final run on a ground ball from Massey.

Undefeated senior Ben Banker (6-0, 7-0) got the win on the mound, throwing nine hits, three strikeouts, and three walks in five innings. John Miller (2-1, 7-2) pitched relief and recorded his first save of the year, throwing one hit and one walk in two innings.

Four Sandites saw pitching duty on Tuesday, and none managed to find their rhythm. The Trojans already lead 7-2 before recording their best inning in the seventh. They outhit the Sandites twelve to eight and benefited from four Sandite errors and seven walks.

Oklahoma State University-commit Bryce Osmond scored the first run of the game on a double from Geo Blackshaw in the top of the first. Osmond had an exception night for Jenks. He went four-for-four at the plate with three runs and three RBI. He also got the win on the mound, throwing five hits, two walks, and nine strikeouts.

Lamar scored on a sacrifice fly in the second inning, then Osmond hit an RBI single to bring in Eli Bilgrien. Osmond scored Jack Harding with a double in the fourth, then scored on a passed ball for a 5-1 lead. Bilgrien and Diener scored on an error in the fifth. Jenks loaded the bases and Bilgrien scored on another Osmond single in the seventh. Josh Cozzoni and Diener scored on a single from Blackshaw, then Osmond scored the final Trojan run on an error.

Savage scored on a fielder’s choice in the second inning, Seth Villines batted in Jacob Snodgrass with a single in the fifth, and Ryan Seabolt hit a double to score Massey in the seventh.

Sebastian Cassity (3-2) got the start and the loss on the mound, throwing three hits and three walks. Preston Berg (0-1) took over midway through the second, throwing four hits and a walk. Peterman (0-1) was sent to the mound in the fourth and threw one hit, two strikeouts, and a walk. Finally, Michael Miller pitched the final two innings and threw four hits, two strikeouts, and two walks.

The District Title is still wide open, with Jenks, Broken Arrow, and Sand Springs all holding two losses. The Sandites will host Union (10-15) Friday at 7:00 p.m. and will travel to Sapulpa (16-14) Saturday at 6:30 p.m. in a break from district action.

CPHS Baseball: Sandites suffer Spartan walkoff, tournament finals rained out

The Charles Page High School varsity baseball team (16-5, 5-1) suffered a 3-2 walk-off loss to Bixby (20-5) in the third round of the Spartan-Tiger Turf War Friday night after leading for the entire game.

Junior Kiefer Massey got his first varsity start on the mound, throwing two hits, two strikeouts, and eight walks in six innings. The Sandites led 2-1 when he was relieved by John Miller (2-1, 7-2).

Miller took over in the bottom of the sixth and threw a strikeout to strand two runners, but things came unglued in the seventh. Luke Creeger tied the night with an RBI double and Trenton Dale scored the game-winning run on a single from Barrett Daniel.

Both Sandite runs came in the top of the third. Cal Watkins hit an RBI single to bring in Seth Villines, and in turn scored on a single from Jacob Snodgrass. Bixby’s first run came in the fifth after Jaxson Crull singled, advanced on an error and a balk, and scored on a sacrifice fly.

Crull and Blake Williams combined for eleven strikeouts, the most the Sandites have suffered all season.

The Sandites were scheduled to play Sapulpa in the 5th/6th Place game on Saturday but it was canceled due to weather. They will travel to Jenks (16-9, 7-1) Monday at 6:00 p.m. in a return to district action.

CPHS Baseball: Trojans trump Sand Springs 7-4 at Bixby Tournament

The Charles Page High School varsity baseball team (16-4) dropped a 7-4 tournament battle to Jenks High School (15-9) Friday night in Bixby in the second round of the Spartan-Tiger Turf War, snapping a four-game win streak. The game was a preview of a district home-and-home the two will play next week.

The Sandites went with a fairly inexperienced pitching crew and the Trojans made the most of it, outhitting Sand Springs 12 to 4, scoring in five of seven innings.

Jaxon Skaggs (2-1) got the start on the mound and gave up two walks, two singles, and a balk for a pair of free runs. Preston Berg (0-1) took over and threw two strikeouts to pull out the inning.

Sand Springs tied it up in the bottom of the second. Cale Savage hit a triple and scored on an error, then Kaegan Murray scored on a double from Ethan Sartin. They loaded the bases with a pair of walks, but left all three runners stranded.

Two hits and an error put Jenks out front at 4-2 in the top of the third, but once again the Sandites rose to the occasion and tied it with singles from Sartin and Cal Watkins. Brycen Peterman ran courtesy for Sartin, and both runners scored on a pair of passed balls.

The Sandite luck ran out from there. Brooks Fowler hit an RBI single in the fourth, Dylan Hammond hit a double and scored on a fly out in the fifth, then Geo Blackshaw hit an RBI single in the sixth.

Berg was credited with the loss, throwing four hits, three strikeouts, and two walks in four innings. Michael Miller closed out the night, pitching six hits and two walks in three innings.

Sand Springs will return to action Friday night against the Bixby Spartans (19-5).

CPHS Baseball: Sandites whip Wildcats twice in district action

The Charles Page High School varsity baseball team (16-3, 5-1) picked up a pair of district wins against Ponca City (7-15, 1-5) in a home-and-home series Monday and Tuesday.

On Monday they needed an extra inning to edge out a 2-1 victory over Ponca. The Wildcats scored their only run in the bottom of the second thanks to an error at second and an RBI triple.

Cal Watkins quickly tied the game in the top of the third, bringing in Seth Villines on a single. Cale Savage hit a double in the eighth to score Kiefer Massey for the win. Sand Springs out hit the Wildcats four to one and both teams picked up six walks each. The Sandites stranded six runners and Ponca left seven on base.

Undefeated senior Ben Banker (5-0, 6-0) got the start on the mound, walking three and giving up one hit in three and one third innings. John Miller (2-0, 7-1) took over midway through the fourth and was credited with the win after walking three and striking out seven.

Tuesday’s game was a totally different story as the Sandites scored four in the first inning and led 7-0 before the Wildcats tried to rally with four runs in the final two innings.

Tyler Ash, Watkins, and Savage hit singles in the first inning, with Savage scoring Ash. Watkins scored on a fielder’s choice and Ethan Sartin hit a double to bring in Savage and Jacob Snodgrass. Watkins and Savage scored on a pair of errors in the bottom of the fifth, and Malachi Burks stole home.

The Wildcats finally got on the board with an error in the sixth. Austin Haney hit a solo homer in the seventh and Ponca loaded the bases with a single and a pair of walks. Eli Wohl scored two on a double and the Wildcats reloaded with another walk, but a Watkins strikeout secured the win.

Sebastian Cassity (3-1) got the start and win on the mound, throwing four hits, three strikeouts, and two walks in six innings. Watkins (1-0) closed out the night and was credited with his second save of the season, throwing a hit, a strikeout, and two walks.
