Reece Gray pitched a gem Thursday as the Northeast Nodaway Bluejays got their third win of the year, a 3-1 gem over Stewartsville/Osborn. He only allowed one hit and he walked three and struck out six in the win and worked around three errors. Northeast only got four hits, but it was just enough to win the game for them. They are now within one win of last year’s total of four. He only needed 89 pitches to get the win.
The Bluejays jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning, but ran its way out of many more. Jordan Dannar walked and stole second. Lance Runde singled to left and Dannar scored to make it 1-0. Reece Gray was hit by a pitch. Jace Burns walked to load the bases. Brock Healy flied out to center; Lance Runde tagged up and scored, but Reece Gray tagged up and tried to advance to third, but was thrown out. Wyatt Scadden reached on a dropped third strike and Bentin Roberts walked, but Jace Burns tried to advance on a passed ball and was tagged out for the third out. Those two plays gave the Wildcards hope, and they were able to stay in the game against Northeast despite having only one win so far.
The Wildcards got one run back to make it 2-1 in the third, taking advantage of a pair of Bluejay errors. But Reece Gray got the run back for the Bluejays in their half of the third when he doubled to center. Jace Burns singled him home to make it 3-1.
In the Wildcard fourth, Ryan Orta led off the inning with a walk, only for catcher Brady O’Connell to throw him out stealing.
Nobody mounted a serious threat to score the rest of the game. Shortstop Reece Gray gave up an error to start the seventh, but he had a short memory as he turned a 6-3 double play to end the game.
