Tigers Roar Past Rosepine
Last Thursday Mar. 13, the DeQuincy Tigers hosted the Rosepine Eagles in District 4-2A action.
The Eagles would get on the board first in the 3rd inning and then add another run in the top of the 4th.
However in the bottom half of the 4th the Tigers would take the lead thanks to a couple of base hits and an error on Rosepine. The Eagles would tie things up in the 6th. The Tigers quickly answered by scoring 6 runs including the last 3 coming off the bat of Andrew Dowden. He hit an absolute missile over the left field wall to put the dagger on the Eagles as DeQuincy beat Rosepine for the first time since 2021.
Carson Rainwater was fantastic on the mound only allowing 3 hits on the night and striking out 5 batters. Turner Rodriguez closed in the last inning.
Carson Rainwater went 2-4 with 2 RBIs, Diron Valentine went 2-3 with an RBI, Nolan Schrader went 1-3, Andrew Dowden went 2-4 with 3 RBIs, Turner Rodriguez went 1-4, and Hayz Hext went 1-1 with an RBI.
