Glover, Sullivan help Wolves edge Spiro

HEAVENER—Koda Glover had an easy seventh inning to close out Heavener’s 3-2 win over Spiro Thursday afternoon.

Glover and the Wolves didn’t have many easy innings in the win as they had to work out of jams in several innings to get the victory.

The junior pitcher struck out seven while allowing only five hits as Spiro pitcher Dakota Watson overcame a rough start to also pitch an excellent game.

Heavener had a good start against Watson in the first inning, but struggled in its last five innings.

Brice Sullivan gave the Wolves all the runs they would need with a bases-loaded double to right center in the bottom of the first, scoring Austin Mead, Brandon Kirkland and Koda Glover.

Sullivan also had another hit later in the game to account for two of the Wolves’ three hits.

Spiro had several chances to score before breaking through in the top of the sixth to narrow the Wolves’ lead to 3-2.

Tyler Didway led off the inning with a single. One out later, Justin Sharp had another single before Joe Ross hit a double to plate two runs before Glover and the Wolves escaped the jam.

Spiro also had chances earlier in the game with runners at second and third in the first and third inning but could not score. The Bulldogs also had runners at the corners in the fifth with no outs before the Wolves shut down the rally.
