Cass’ Brandon Etheridge slides into second as Heritage’s Tristan Tennant makes the catch Wednesday at Heritage High School.Offense was hard to come by and strikeouts came in bunches in Heritage High School’s District 7-AAAA double header split with Cass.
The Generals dropped game one 3-2 but bounced back to earn a 3-2 decision of their own in a series that has been dominated on the mound.
Cass’ Brandon Etheridge pitched a gem in game one, allowing two runs while striking out 12 in seven innings of work.
“I had my fastball working, and I was hitting corners,” Etheridge said. “My curveball was good late in counts, too. I was just throwing strikes.”
Generals ace Blake Hamilton had a solid game of his own, as he went the distance with six strikeouts, allowing one earned run. However, two Heritage errors would lead to two unearned runs and a loss for Hamilton.
