[ baseball from page 17 ] in some tough situations with runners in scoring position. But he was always able to work himself out of it. I can’t remember one hard hit ball off of him.” Carns was also assisted by the Gators’ most consistent defensive effort of the season, including a big-time performance by senior catcher Mitchell Ciotta. Offensively, Decatur gave Carns all the help he needed with single runs in the first and seventh
innings. Sophomore Isaiah Hatch finished 2 for 3 with a run and Jim Sullivan and Carns both had RBI singles. Ciotta tallied the Gators’ other run. In the nightcap Saturday, Decatur scored a pair of runs in the top of the seventh to break a 3-3 tie and earn the Gators the district’s fifth seed to state. Ciotta walked to start the seventh and Sullivan followed with a double to leftcenter field to put runners
on second and third. Chris Grimstad, who entered in the third inning as a defensive replacement, then laid down a perfect suicide squeeze to score pinchrunner Tyler Swanson. Two pitches later, Sullivan scored from third on a wild pitch with, what proved to be, the winning run. Columbia River’s Michael McCann connected on a solo home run in the bottom of the seventh to tighten the score to 5-4. James Marshall picked up the win on the mound after
throwing four innings. Garrett Westberg earned the save for Decatur in his three innings of work. The duo gave up only five hits. Sullivan finished the game 3 for 4 with two RBIs, a double and a run scored and fellow senior Brandon Zimmerman was 1 for 3 with a run, RBI and double. O’Dea qualified for the state tournament after finishing second at the Metro League Tournament. The Irish (13-8) lost to Bainbridge in the title game Saturday, 14-8. Decatur

gressed, we’ve become a lot better at executing and paying attention to the details,” Sites said of the 2013 Gators. “I know it’s cliche, but playing together as a team is the only way to make it this far and that’s exactly what we did. Not everyone gets to be the starting pitcher or the cleanup guy, but we need everyone to excel at their roles even if they aren’t glamorous and I’ve been proud of the way our players have handled it despite some difficult, humbling circumstances.”
