Oak Ridge outslugs A&M Consol

COLLEGE STATION, Texas - They scored early and late and when all was tallied, the Oak Ridge High School baseball team came out the winners Thursday in an 11-6 slugfest at A&M Consolidated.

The War Eagles (21-5, 6-4) struck for four runs in the first inning then added four more in the sixth and two more in the seventh inning for good measure. Oak Ridge held leads of 4-0, 5-1 and 9-1 before coasting.

Oak Ridge bats came alive again on Thursday and have tallied 19 runs in the last two games, including an 8-3 win on Tuesday over Conroe. And that's a welcomed relief after scoring just two runs combined over the previous two games.

Durbin Feltman had three hits and drove in three runs to lead Oak Ridge's 15-hit attack. Bryce Foley contributed with three hits of his own and Luken Baker added three RBIs.

Drew Morytko worked four innings and Tyler Miller struck out three in 1 2/3 innings on the mound. Peydon Vasquez also pitched well for the War Eagles.

Oak Ridge looks to lock up a playoff berth on Tuesday when it hosts Lufkin (4-6) at 6 p.m. The War Eagles close the 2014 regular season at 7 p.m. Friday when they visit The Woodlands.
