Outlaws sweep Mountain View

The boys' baseball team swept Mountain View (MV) on Saturday, April 7 with final scores of 9-4 and 12-7.

Jarred Hasskamp provided the highlights of the first game. Hasskamp led off in the first inning with his first career home run. Hasskamp went 3-4 with a homerun and a double and batted in three runs for Sisters.

Nate Jackson went 2-4 with a double and a RBI. Sean Hagney was the winning pitcher. Hagney only allowed two hits and had six strikeouts in the game. Freshman Brandon Morgan pitched the sixth and seventh innings and didn't allow any runs to score.

In the second game of the double header, the Outlaws found themselves down 1-6 in the second inning. MV scored another run in the third to stretch to a 7-1 advantage over the Outlaws. Sisters battled back and scored seven runs in the fifth inning to take an 8-7 lead. The Outlaws added four more runs in the sixth to push to a 12-8 advantage.

Nate Jackson was the winning pitcher for the Outlaws. Sean Hagney and Levi Rowe both had doubles in the game. Sisters had a total of nine hits.

"We had some defensive lapses which made our pitchers work a little harder," said Coach Steve Hodges. "But our offense responded, and in that second game it was nice to come from behind and get the sweep. It was also nice to be able to play a lot of the younger players and get them some experience at the varsity level."

Sisters lost both of their games earlier in the week.

Sisters lost 7-8 in the final inning of their game at Elmira on Tuesday, April 3.

Two days later the Outlaws lost 4-8 to Marist, currently ranked No. 3 in the state.

Marist had 14 hits and two errors in the game. The Outlaws had five hits and two errors.

Sisters will host Central in a non-league game on Saturday, April 14. The game is set to start at noon.
