CPHS Baseball: Trojans trump Sand Springs 7-4 at Bixby Tournament

The Charles Page High School varsity baseball team (16-4) dropped a 7-4 tournament battle to Jenks High School (15-9) Friday night in Bixby in the second round of the Spartan-Tiger Turf War, snapping a four-game win streak. The game was a preview of a district home-and-home the two will play next week.

The Sandites went with a fairly inexperienced pitching crew and the Trojans made the most of it, outhitting Sand Springs 12 to 4, scoring in five of seven innings.

Jaxon Skaggs (2-1) got the start on the mound and gave up two walks, two singles, and a balk for a pair of free runs. Preston Berg (0-1) took over and threw two strikeouts to pull out the inning.

Sand Springs tied it up in the bottom of the second. Cale Savage hit a triple and scored on an error, then Kaegan Murray scored on a double from Ethan Sartin. They loaded the bases with a pair of walks, but left all three runners stranded.

Two hits and an error put Jenks out front at 4-2 in the top of the third, but once again the Sandites rose to the occasion and tied it with singles from Sartin and Cal Watkins. Brycen Peterman ran courtesy for Sartin, and both runners scored on a pair of passed balls.

The Sandite luck ran out from there. Brooks Fowler hit an RBI single in the fourth, Dylan Hammond hit a double and scored on a fly out in the fifth, then Geo Blackshaw hit an RBI single in the sixth.

Berg was credited with the loss, throwing four hits, three strikeouts, and two walks in four innings. Michael Miller closed out the night, pitching six hits and two walks in three innings.

Sand Springs will return to action Friday night against the Bixby Spartans (19-5).
