The Radford Bobcats baseball team was hoping that the third time was the charm as they took on the Floyd Bufflaoes. Floyd Co. had defeated the Cats both times in the regular season, but this game was the first round of the Region 2-C playoffs.

Floyd won the game 9-3 to advance to the quarterfinals as Radford committed four huge errors that lead to five of the nine Buffalo runs. Lupe Carrillo doubled in two runs and Tyler Bain also drove in two for Floyd. Josh Landreth pitched six innings as he struck out five, to pick up the win. Ian Berry, Pressley yates Avery Chaffin and Austin Gallimore all had two hits apiece.

Radford’s Chance Morris went the distance on the mound but the defense let him down as they committed four errors that lead to five unearned runs. He walked two and struck out two. He also had a single and scored a run. Eric Burdette singled in a run in the third for Radford and Jon Woods scored a run. Logan King had two hits in a losing effort. Radford head coach Greg Ridpath said, ” We made to many mistakes. That has been our season. ” He then added,” Today was a replay of our season. We didn’t get the big hit when we needed and Floyd did.”

Floyd will now travel to Chatham, for the Region 2-C quarterfinals as Radford season came to an end.
