Jets held scoreless in intra-county defeat to Stone

After sweeping a pair of games with Livingston, the Cumberland County High School Jets baseball team dropped a 4-0 decision to crosstown rival, Stone Memorial High School, Friday evening.

It was CCHS' Brian Woodlief against SMHS' Jeff Wooll, with the Panther hurler coming out on top.

Wooll held the Jets scoreless on five hits with seven strikeouts and zero walks. Taylor Kisers singled twice with an RBI, while Justin Patton tripled. Luke Trivett and Cole Stickler each cracked one hit.

"Jeff pitched a heck of a game. He threw two pitches which he wishes he had back. We played good defense and got the big hits behind Jeff," said SMHS Coach Scott Calahan.

Woodlief allowed four runs on six hits with six Ks and one walk. Josh Sanders and Tyler Sherrill each poked two hits.

"Brian threw well," said CCHS Coach Dave Prichard. "The defense played well."

Wooll retired the first eight Jet hitters, before Shawn Scott reached on an error and stole second.

Sanders singled with two out in the second for the Jets, and Shawn Scott reached on an error and stole second in the third inning. Both runners were stranded.

Sherrill singled with one out in the fourth and stole second, but he, too, was stranded at second.

With two out in the sixth, Cody Davenport and Sherrill ripped back-to-back singles, but were also stranded.

Sanders singled with one out in the seventh, but was forced out at second on Daniel Forte's grounder to Panther second baseman Devon Pennington.

After retiring the first three Panthers, Woodlief allowed two runs in the second on a singles by Kiser and Trivett, two fielder's choices, a wild pitch and a ground out by Pennington.

Kiser's RBI single plated Jon Doran in the third inning. Wooll also singled for the Panthers.

After giving up Kiser's two-single, Woodlief retired the next seven Panthers, before Patton drilled a leadoff triple in the sixth. Patton would score on Trivett's sacrifice fly for a 4-0 advantage.

Stickler singled with two out, but was picked off trying to swipe second base.

Woodlief retired the side in order in the seventh.
