Errors costly in Tigers' 14-8 loss at Owasso
By: Doug Quinn

OWASSO - One number particularly stood out in
Shannon Dobson's mind Wednesday night.
It wasn't Broken Arrow High School scoring eight runs.
Nor, was it the Tigers banging out a dozen hits.
Shining brightly on the Stigall Field scoreboard after a
14-8 loss to No. 1 Owasso was a '4.'
That was BAHS's number of errors.
There was another four.
Those miscues all happened in the first four innings.
"Against similar teams, you have to play mistake-free,"
Dobson said. "And, we didn't.
"You don't give yourself a chance to win when you give
the other team four or five outs an inning."
Those errors for three unearned runs against starter Lance Rymel, who was charged with
seven runs over the first five innings.
Rymel didn't figure in the decision but Owasso's heavy artillery did in the sixth inning.
The Rams (21-3) pounded BAHS relievers Brett Ziegler and Derek Edmisten for
seven runs - all earned - on seven hits while sending 12 batters to the plate.
Owasso, after letting a 4-0 first inning lead slip away, snapped a 7-7 deadlock without a Tiger
error.
"We didn't do a very good job on the mound that inning," Dobson said. "We weren't ready to
pitch."
Senior Kevin LeMoine followed Ziegler and Croft and needed four pitches to strike out
OU-bound senior Matt Hoffman to end the sixth.
Dobson wasn't disappointed totally in the Tigers' offensive production.
"We were getting hits," he said. "We just didn't get them with runners on base. When you strand
11 runners, you didn't get the hits when you really need them."
The error-prone Tigers spotted Owasso four runs in the first but rallied to take a 7-6 lead going
into the bottom of the fifth.
"We battled back," Dobson said. "I liked that."
Game Notes

batting order.
