Windsor knocks 'Hounds out of I-70 tourney

CONCORDIA -- Windsor came from behind Wednesday for an 18-6, six-inning victory over the Sweet Springs baseball team, eliminating the Greyhounds from the I-70 Conference Tournament at Concordia.

Junior Brent Boland and sophomore Matt Vogelsmeier had RBI singles in the bottom of the second inning to give Sweet Springs a 3-1 lead, but Windsor tied it in the third when senior Corey Buford tripled in a run and scored on junior Derek Riggs' base hit.

Senior Jacob Navarro's single broke the tie with a two-out single in the 'Hounds' half of the third, but then Windsor unloaded for seven runs on three hits -- including sophomore Daniel Sanders' two-run single -- and a costly error which accounted for three unearned runs.

Windsor tacked on five more runs in the fourth, a pair crossing on junior Codi Moon's double, and all three of its runs in the sixth came in when junior Matt Madole clocked a bases-loaded double.

Madole drove in five runs for seventh-seeded Windsor (3-5), which is scheduled to play Concordia for the consolation trophy today.

Senior Quin Jones had two hits and scored twice for Sweet Springs (3-7), which hosts Northwest of Hughesville on Monday.

The semifinal rounds of both the baseball and softball tourneys were postponed by rain. As of press time, a decision had not been made as to when they would be played.
