CBC baseball rallies to sweep Big Bend
The Columbia Basin College baseball team poured it on the middle innings in the first game for an 8-4 win Wednesday over visiting Big Bend, then got a walk-off knock from Zeb Chamberlain in the second to seal a 7-6 victory for the doubleheader sweep.
CBC took a 4-3 lead with a two-run bottom of the third in the first game, and tacked on four insurance runs in the sixth to get the win. Kaleb Strawn and Austin Bergdahl combined to shut out the Vikings over the last three innings and gave up just one hit.
Seth Reisbeck gave Big Bend a 6-5 lead in the top of the ninth in the second game when he scored on a wild pitch, but McKlane Elgin tied it with a knock in the bottom of the inning, and Chamberlain drove in Evan Sather two batters later to win it.
