Genesee gets upset by CV in Class 1A baseball district semifinal
May 13—OROFINO — The defending Class 1A state baseball champion will not be returning as the district champion.
Sixth-seeded Clearwater Valley of Kooskia tallied five runs combined in the fourth and fifth innings and held on to beat top-seeded Genesee 6-4 in a district semifinal game Thursday at Orofino High School.
Anthony Fabbi doubled, tripled, scored a run and knocked in two for the Rams (14-9), who had entered the tournament losing three of their previous five games but now have a showdown against Prairie at 5:30 p.m. today for the district title. Daring Cross was 2-for-2 with a double, two walks, a run scored and an RBI. Carson Schilling went 2-for-3 with two runs scored and an RBI.
Jackson Zenner went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI for the Bulldogs (13-3), who had won nine consecutive games entering this one. Nate Guinard went 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI.
Trebor Altman allowed seven hits, five walks and three runs, two earned, in the first five innings to get the win. Ridge Shown was perfect in the final two innings, striking out three, to pick up the save.
Cameron Meyer allowed six hits, three walks and five runs, all unearned, in five innings to take the loss.
The Bulldogs' normally reliable defense wasn't so in this one, as they committed five errors that led to their undoing.
Genesee swept the season series against Clearwater Valley, winning 6-2 and 3-1 in an April 29 doubleheader.
Genesee broke on top with a two-out Guinard single that scored Cy Wareham.
CV tallied three in the fourth. Schilling had a one-out single to right and Cross walked. An out later, Tiago Pickering got aboard on an error to load the bases, then Fabbi delivered a two-run double to center. Pickering then scored on a wild pitch to make it 3-1.
Then in the fifth, Shown got aboard on a one-out error, then stole second. An out later, Schilling singled him home. Cross followed with a double to center to plate another run and give them Rams a four-run edge.
Genesee countered with two in its half of the inning as Zenner doubled in Meyer and Guinard with two outs to make it 5-3.
CV got what turned out to be an insurance run in the sixth as Fabbi tripled and scored on a wild pitch. The Bulldogs got that run back Teak Wareham and Meyer each walked, Cy Wareham was hit by a pitch and two outs later, Teak Wareham scored on a ball in the dirt.
Genesee went 1-2-3 in its half of the seventh as Shown closed it out.
