O'Dell Holds Off Baylor As Trojans Rally To Win Baseball Opener

Soddy-Daisy relief pitcher, Ben O'Dell, allowed only three hits and no runs allowing his team to rally for a win Monday night.

Soddy Daisy junior Ben O'Dell must have ice in his veins, literally and figuratively.

 

When O'Dell relieved Trojans' ace Alex Vaughn at the end of two innings, the host Baylor Red Raiders had already built an 8-2 lead and appeared to be coasting to an easy victory on what was a frigid opening day for high school baseball. Over the next five innings O'Dell, who is listed at 6-3, 280 pounds, allowed only three hits and no runs, effectively opening the door for a Soddy Daisy rally in the bottom of the fifth that would carry the Trojans to a 9-8 victory.

 

Along with his nearly perfect pitching performance that included six strikeouts, O'Dell also helped his own cause with a double in the fourth and the game-tying RBI in the fifth. Trailing 8-5 entering the fifth, Soddy Daisy loaded the bases with no outs when Jeremy Frazier knocked in Alex Vaughn to pull the Trojans within two. Clutch RBI groundouts from Joey Bowman and Ben O'Dell were the finishing touches on the comeback inning.

 

Baylor centerfielder Steven Hawk initiated a rally with a double to lead off the bottom of the sixth, but that rally was brought to an immediate halt when Hawk was gunned out at home after a William Stout double. O'Dell got Ryne Simpson to ground out next, but not without allowing Stout to advance to third base. With two outs and a man on third O'Dell struck out Baylor cleanup Logan Simmons to move within a half inning of the victory. Despite walking two in the bottom of the seventh O'Dell hung on and forced Baylor's Trey Dyer to pop out to shallow right field to end the game.

 

Only two innings into the game, with their ace Ryne Simpson on the mound, the Red Raiders had seemingly put away the Trojans early with a five-run first inning and a three-run second. Back-to-back RBI singles from Ty Levie and Garrett Cash capped off a potent first inning before Rowdy Byrum and Coty Green furthered the damage with an RBI double and RBI single in the second, respectively.

 

Soddy's TJ Hendrickson's two RBI double in the fourth got the Trojans' back in the game before back to back singles from Alex Vaughn and Matt Hicks ended what was an already dismal day for Raider's ace Ryne Simpson, who was charged with eight earned runs, but was not saddled with the loss.

 

Baylor was led by William Stout, who was 3-4 on the day with two runs scored and Rowdy Byrum who batted 2-4 with a double and a RBI.

 

Ty Hendrickson paved the way for the Trojans offensively going 3-3 with a double, two runs scored, and four RBI. Jeremy Frazier was 2-4 with two runs scored and an RBI for the winning team.
