Arrows shoot down Gators
Published 12:30 am Saturday, April 18, 2015
The Vicksburg Gators returned home to Bazinsky Field on Friday night, but there wasn’t much else for the fans to celebrate.
Clinton’s Cartez Posey held the Gators to one hit, Armani Lewis went 2-for-3 with a double, triple, three RBIs and three runs scored, and the Arrows routed the Gators 12-0.
Michael Brown and Dylan Creel had two hits and two RBIs apiece for Clinton (17-6). Brown had a double and a triple, and Creel a double. Tyrance Carr singled twice and scored three runs.
Creel’s RBI double highlighted a three-run first inning that sent the Arrows on their way. Brandon Williams had an RBI single in the third inning to make it 4-0, then the Arrows struck for three runs in the fourth and five in the fifth to win by the mercy rule.
Vicksburg (6-12) drew six walks from Posey, but its only hit was a second-inning single by Justin Jones.
The Gators had at least one runner on in every inning. They loaded the bases with one out in the third, but Posey got a strikeout and a fly out to end the threat.
The Gators will have two chances today to get back in the win column. They host Ridgeland at noon, then Warren Central at 4 p.m.
