San Diego left fielder Jimmy Waters is here to get noticed. He is off to a fine start.
Waters drove in the winning run to give the Waves a 4-3 victory over Park City in 10 innings on Thursday at Lawrence-Dumont Stadium. A former Kansas Jayhawk, Waters spent the summer working out in Lawrence and hoping to continue his baseball career.
"Hopefully, somebody will give me a chance," he said. "I've always wanted to play in this tournament, and I never got to because I was in different leagues that never came here. Everybody always talks about this tournament."
Waters, who joined the Waves two days ago, smacked reliever Tucker Pryor's first pitch to center field, scoring Chris Lindmark from second base.
The Waves are the field's third 2-0 team and play on Saturday. Park City drops into a losers bracket game Saturday after blowing a 3-1 lead it took into the eighth inning.
"We're built on pitching and defense," Park City coach Barry Newell said. "I really thought that at 3-1 it was going to be hard to take out of our hands. When you give us a two-run lead and six outs to go, I felt very comfortable."
San Diego started to chip away at Newell's belief in the eighth inning. With one out, an error on shortstop Eric Dawson helped the Waves tie the game 3-all. A two-out single by Lindmark drove in Christian Johnson, the No. 9 hitter who reached when his bouncing ball slipped past Dawson's body. Lindmark scored on Max Duvall's single.
Pryor, Park City's fourth pitcher, stranded two runners in the ninth. In the 10th, he got the first out and then gave up a singles to Lindmark and Duvall.
Pryor left his first pitch up and Waters drove it into the gap.
"I struck out twice, and I didn't want to put it in the umpire's hand," Waters said. "He threw me an elevated pitch and I just stayed on it."
The game-winner capped a 2-for-5 day for Waters, who went 2 for 4 and scored three runs in an opening victory over Katy (Texas).
"He swings it well," Waves coach Junior Tack said.
Pitching and defense dominated until the late innings.
Park City starter Wade Morrison struck out nine in five innings. He struck out five of the first seven batters.
San Diego starter Lawrence Chew struck out four and scattered eight hits over 6 2/3 innings. His defense helped by throwing out Park City's Mike Williams at third base for the first out of the fourth inning. The Waves cut down Williams at home in the sixth, when he tried to score while John Pomatto delayed in a rundown.
Waves reliever Jeremy Peterson shook off early problems to hold the Rangers scoreless for 3 1/3 innings.
"They kept us off balance," Newell said. "I know we had nine hits, but they were a quiet nine hits."
