POTOSI - The Argyle baseball team was in good shape late in both games of a doubleheader with Potosi on Friday, only to fall apart at the end.
Trailing by a run entering the bottom of the seventh, Potosi erupted for 13 runs to post a 21-9 victory in the opener. The Chieftains completed the sweep by scoring seven runs in the sixth inning of the nightcap for a 13-3 victory.
In the opener, Potosi got a leadoff double in the seventh and scored the tying run on an error.
"As soon as we had that error, you could see it on everyone's faces," Argyle coach Chuck Bredeson said of his team. "It was only tied and it was like we were already down a whole bunch of runs."
Potosi collected nine of its 17 hits in the inning.
Senior Kevin Flannery, sophomore Rhett Starr and freshmen Colton Ploessl and Brock Breuhlman each had two hits for Argyle. Breuhlman's were both triples.
Alec Treuthardt had two hits in the nightcap for the Orioles.
