POST – If you prefer games with close finishes, then the Floydada Whirlwinds – Post Bold Gold Antelopes baseball series would have been right up your alley. Floydada won 10-9 at Watson Field on Tuesday, then Post was victorious at Norm Cash Field by the identical tally of 10-9 on Saturday.
Post utilized a seven run second inning that withstood a gallant come back by the Whirlwinds. Post held its biggest advantage of 7-1 after two innings before the Whirlwinds would battle back with four runs in the third frame and would eventually take the lead of 9-8 going into the bottom of the seventh. Post in their last at-bat did not get a hit, but turned a walk and hit batter into a pair of runs with a stolen base and eventual scores on a wild pitch and passed ball.
Floydada’s numbers ended up with four hits by Post, four errors committed and a four game winning streak was snapped.
The Whirlwinds (8-10, 5-5) are in fourth place in the district 3-2A standings going into their regular season finale series against the Ralls Jackrabbits (12-8, 7-1). Ralls is coming off a series split with the New Deal Lions. Game 1 on Tuesday will be at the Dag Azam Complex in Ralls on Tuesday, with Game 2 at the end of the week back in Floydada at Watson Field. 106.1 FLiP FM will have the radio broadcasts.
