Jaguars hopeful of spot in North Coast Section playoffs
The Jaguars did all they could to extend their season last week in finishing up the North Bay League schedule with a split in a pair of games, keeping their postseason hopes alive with a huge win over Montgomery.
Windsor (11-13, 4-10) will now put their fate in the hands of the North Coast Section Division-2 playoff seeding committee, which meets this Sunday, May 22 to fill out the 16-team bracket. Check the NCS website at cifncs.org/sports/baseball/ for updated playoff information as it becomes available.
Windsor (11-13, 4-10), began the stretch on May 11 with their fourth win of the campaign over the Vikings, a result that should help their playoff chances. The Jags are currently ranked number 14 within Division-2, one spot behind Montgomery. Â
Jags notch win
The Jags took the field with confidence on Senior Day on May 11 against Montgomery, honoring veterans Sam Penning, Jordan Allen, Logan Ruybalid, Max Brown, Mat Silva, Hunter Disidoro, Jevin Barry, John Plinski and Nik, Bodtker.
Disidoro got the start for Windsor, responding with one of his best performances of the year. The steady senior throttled the Vikings bats in a complete-game gem, yielding just four hits, allowing no earned runs while striking out two.
The Jags got RBI knocks from Silva and Plinski in the first pair of innings, and Disidoro did the rest en route to a 2-1 victory. Also hitting safely for the Jaguars were Penning (2 for 2, run), Patrick Tappin (2 for 3) and Barry (1 for 1).
The Jaguars ventured north to Ukiah for the league finale on May 13, as starter Sam Penning (3 IP, 5 hits, 2 ERs) toed the slab before turning it over to relievers Jordan Allen (2 IP, 1 hit, 0 runs, 1 K) and Max Brown (1 IP, 0 hits, 0 ERs). The Wildcats took full advantage on five Windsor fielding errors to plate seven runs in the first three innings on their way to an 8-2 win. Â
Hitting safely for the Jags were Tanner Kane (2 for 4, run), Penning (2 for 3, RBI), Travis Broadhead (1 for 2, 3B, run), Toli Partida (1 for 3, RBI), Disidoro (1 for 3) and Silva (1 for 4).
