Holland Christian took on the West
Ottawa Panthers on Friday afternoon in the first game of the
Holland-Area Tournament. West Ottawa got on the board first by
scoring two runs in the first inning off of a few Holland Christian
errors. West Ottawa added their third run of the game off of a home
run in the second inning, followed by an RBI single to go up 4-0
heading into the fourth inning. Holland Christian responded with four
unanswered runs. David Williams drove in the first run by hitting a
double to the fence in centerfield in the fourth inning. The other
three runs came in the top of the seventh, all three of which with
two outs. Nick Hill scored Josh Sterenberg off of a swinging bunt
that resulted in a West Ottawa throwing error. Nate DeZwaan drove in
the final two runs by drilling a ball to the centerfield fence,
making the score 4-4 heading into the bottom of the seventh inning.
West Ottawa, however, filled the bases and ended up winning off of a
walkoff single.
Mike Mokma pitched 4.1 innings, struck
out 7, and earned the no decision. Nate DeZwaan pitched the rest of
the game. Offensively, DeZwaan led the team with two hits and two
RBIs.
Holland Christian's overall record
becomes 17-7 after the 5-4 loss to West Ottawa, and they will play a
doubleheader on Saturday, May 24, at Zeeland East.
