Pinecrest Academy’s young players are learning that baseball teams can ill afford many self-inflicted wounds over the course of a game. Paladins pitchers issued nine walks and the defense committed six errors that contributed to a 9-6 loss to Commerce on Tuesday at Fathers Field. Commerce (7-10, 4-7 Region 8A-A) built a 9-1 lead going into the bottom of the fifth and turned the game over to its bullpen, which allowed the Paladins (4-10, 3-7) to narrow the gap in the final innings.
