Bryan/College Station, TX (July 12, 2023) – The Bombers extend their winning streak to two games after coming back from a 4-1 deficit with an explosive 6 run inning to win the game. The Bombers struggled the first 5 innings to convert anything into hits but stayed positive and stayed in the game which was rewarded with an incredible inning after these hardships. The seventh inning gave the Bombers 6 additional hits supplemented by sacrificial plays to keep the Bombers on base. The Bombers next game will be played tomorrow evening in Baton Rouge as the team plans to extend their win streak after a winning homestead.
The first hit of the evening was earned by Casey Sunseri as he logged a leadoff single in the first inning and this was followed up by a double smashed deep into left field by tonight’s player of the game Ben Columbus. There was a bit of a dry spell at the plate for Brazos Valley until the fifth inning when Maddox Miesse relit the offensive spark with a base hit through the 6 hole. This was followed up by Simon Larranaga who put up a sac fly to score Hunter Autrey for the Bombers first run of the evening to get them on the board and set up the momentum for a progressive seventh inning.
The seventh inning started off electrically with an RBI single up the middle to cut the lead in half by Christian Smith Johnson to show how clutch he can be at the plate when it matters. This streak was kept alive by Casey Sunseri as he earned an RBI double out to LF to score Christian Smith Johnson bringing the score even closer. Player of the game Ben Columbus proved his dominance as a power five hitter, roping an RBi double to right field allowing Casey Sunseri to tie the game to four a piece.
The Bombers showed no signs of slowing down when the team took a hold of the lead with credit to Simon Larranaga with a double down the left field line to score Ben Columbus with only one out on the board. National champion Jacob Guerrero showed off why he has this prestigious title with a line drive over the center fielders head for a triple bringing Simon Larranaga home extending the Bombers lead. The final run of the game when Cole Plowman putting up an RBI groundout placed well to first in order for Jacob Guerrero to score.
This explosiveness gave the Bombers their win and they will be back home on Sunday to take on the River Monsters and give the fans some more to cheer about!
