Gilman City's baseball team held off a frantic King City rally Friday and won on the road 10-7 to get their third win of the season. Camden Griffith carried the team on his shoulders, coming a triple short of the cycle with his bat and fanning 12 Wildkat batters. But when he ran out of pitches, King City struck in the seventh, and a seemingly comfortable 10-1 lead became 10-7 before Gilman City finally got out of the inning.
Parker Holcomb and Mason Preston walked to start the Hawk first and Camden Griffith singled to left, scoring Holcomb. Alex Young was plunked to load the bases. Jace Estrada and Dustin Ward grounded out, scoring two more runs to make it 3-0 before King City could get out of the inning.
The Hawks struggled on the field, making eight errors, but somehow managed to work around them all night. A hit batter and a pair of Hawk errors made it 3-1 in the first.
King City threatened in the second after Wyatt Jackson reached on an error and Ryder Sample doubled to put runners on second and third. But Caiden Wainscott struck out to end the threat.
Mason Preston walked to start the Hawk third and Camden Griffith walked to put runners on second and third. Alex Young beat out an infield hit as Preston scored to make it 4-1. Jace Estrada struck out, but Dustin Ward grounded out to score Griffith to make it 5-1.
Preston singled to start the Hawk fifth, and Camden Griffith got his third hit, a home run, to make it 7-1.
Preston helped the Hawks in the King City fifth with his arm as he threw out Graham Medsker stealing third to kill a King City rally.
With one out in the Hawk sixth, Parker Holcomb walked. Mason Preston reached on a dropped fly, and Camden Griffith walked to load the bases. Alex Young singled home Mason Preston and Parker Holcomb as Camden Griffith took second. Jace Estrada beat out an infield hit to load the bases. Dustin Ward grounded out to first to score Griffith to make it 10-1. Ward had three groundouts that led to RBI's for the night.
But then came the King City seventh and an error and two walks loaded the bases. Carter Heinrich singled in two runs and Gentry Law singled home another to make it 10-4. Kenstin Aborn walked. Wyatt Jackson struck out for the first out, but an error scored two to make it 10-6. Another error loaded the bases. Coy Cordonnier popped out, but Graham Medsker walked to force in a run and bring the winning run to the plate. But Jackson Shoop popped out to Camden Griffith at short to end the game.
