Trailing 2-0 in the top of the second, the Bulls rallied for five runs after a two-out error by the Tigers. James Aaronson hit a single that drove two runners to put the Bulls up for good, and Todd Downey followed with an RBI double. "I was glad to see the bats finally start cracking," Bulls coach Steve Robertson said. "We had been really struggling at the plate." Jeff Bacon led the Bulls with a triple and a double, as the Bulls had a season-high 12 hits. Tigers coach Bob Stanton said his players were disappointed with the loss. "They made rookie mistakes," Stanton said, slamming his fists on a table. We obviously have a lot of work to do .What type of story is this?

Answer 1

The story recapitulating South Central Academy's baseball game is a sports feature story, highlighting important moments and including quotations from coaches.

Step-by-step explanation:

The story described is a factual account of a high school baseball game, detailing the outcome, player performances, and comments from the coaches. This fits the criteria of a sports feature story, as it focuses on a specific sporting event, includes quotes from key figures, and provides a narrative around the game's key moments, rather than just presenting objective facts that would characterize a straight-news sports story.

The story includes information on the scores, errors, and performances of the players, giving a comprehensive overview of the game.
