CHAPEL HILL — A four-run second inning by the Rockets was more than Cascade could overcome on Tuesday in the 7-3 loss to Forrest.
Forrest took advantage of a pair of walks in the fourth and with the bases loaded, plated the first run of the game after Carter Walk was hit by a pitch.
Tyler Baxter then connected on a three-RBI double off starting pitcher Jaxon Sheffield.
Sheffield settled in and posted a scoreless third inning and Cascade was able top drive in its first run of the game on a Conner Melson RBI double to left.
But forrest stormed back and plated two more runs in the bottom of the inning and a seventh run in the bottom of the fifth.
The Champions made a bit of a late-game push in the top of the seventh when Chance Brown ground into a fielder’s choice, but drove in a run on the play and McGeary added a second run in the seventh on a RBI single to right.
Sheffield went four innings and gave up six runs on five hits, while striking out five.
Logan Green pitched 2/3 oof an inning and gave up one run.
Cascade participated in the Viking Classic over the weekend.
