WILLIAMSBURG — A nine-run fifth inning by Williamsburg spelled doom Tuesday for Blanchester in a 12-3 loss in SBAAC National Division baseball action.
Blanchester drops to 11-4 overall, 7-2 in league play. Bethel-Tate is unbeaten in the National Division.
Williamsburg is 6-5 overall, 4-2 in the division.
“That went sideways quick,” Blanchester manager Aaron Lawson said. “You cannot give a team more than three outs in an inning. When a teammate makes an error we need to pick him up and stop the bleeding. Instead we let it snowball.”
Blanchester had just three hits in the game but led 3-1 going to the bottom of the fifth. BHS had two of its three errors in the fifth. BHS pitching hit one batter and walked fifth in the fifth.
