The Thunderbirds' Scott Carlson steals home for go-ahead run in Game 2
PHOENIX-Scott Carlson stole home with two outs in the ninth with the go-ahead run, giving Southern Utah a 9-8 victory over Grand Canyon in the second game of a doubleheader at Brazell Stadium on Friday.
With one out in the ninth, the Thunderbirds' T.J. King hit a bloop single that landed just beyond the pitcher's mound off Canyon reliever Ben Menke (Scottsdale/Coronado HS). Carlson pinch ran for King and stole second. Carlson advanced to third after a fly out and then stole home, as Menke pitched from the wind-up.
Menke (0-1) was tagged with the loss. Southern reliever Kyle Kimoto (1-0) pitched two innings of relief to pick up the victory.
For the second consecutive day, Southern Utah (6-9) rallied in the eighth, this time with four runs to tie the score. The Thundebirds evened things up on Phil Downing's run-scoring single. Downing went 4 for 4 with three runs scored.
Menke and Blake Woods (Chandler/Chandler HS) led the Antelopes (11-6) with three hits apiece, while Woods added three runs batted in.
In Game 1, Ronnie Holtorf's (Phoenix/Moon Valley HS) three-run homer, his team leading fifth of the season, capped off an eight-run fourth inning, as the Antelopes won, 11-5.
Canyon starter Rob Price (Glendale/Deer Valley HS) went five innings to go 5-0 on the season. Price already has more victories than any Antelope pitcher did for all of last season.
Menke and Cody Ransom (Chandler/Chandler HS) each had three hits.
For the Thunderbirds, Woody Redner (0-2) suffered the loss.
The series concludes on Saturday with a doubleheader of two, seven-inning games beginning at Noon.
