Though it was a tough battle, Fort Collins High School’s varsity baseball team walked away from the plate with a victory today against our varsity boys.
The game was tied at zero until the top of the 6th inning, when Collins scored. Fossil then tied it back up with a point at the top of the 7th inning. Collins swept the winning title with the final point at the bottom of the 7th inning making their record in 10-5 overall, and 6-2 in the league. The loss puts Fossil’s record overall at 8-9, and 6-4 in the league.
One of the highlights of the rivalry game included the pitching of senior Keegan Letcher. Varsity player and junior at Fossil, Rj Barnes said, “It was a tough loss but Keegan threw a great game.”
The rivalry between Fossil Ridge and Fort Collins is uncanny, and FRHS junior Nate Simianer had some insight on playing the lambkins, “It’s always interesting playing with kids I’ve been playing with since we were kids.”
The next game is at home against Fairview on April 30th! This will be the last home game.
