Porters Chapel left its bats in Louisiana on Wednesday.

It turned out to be a good thing.

Judd Mims led a 13-hit attack by going 3-for-3 with three RBIs, and Michael Busby was 2-for-3 with a triple and three RBIs as Porters Chapel (3-1) routed Glenbrook 13-2 on Thursday afternoon.

Hayden Hales, Chris Mixon and Brady Towne had two hits apiece for the Eagles, and all but one PCA starter had at least one hit. The lone starter without a hit, catcher Dean Hill, still reached base on a walk and drove in a run with a groundout.

“It’s fun. It’s exciting to see all the balls flying everywhere,” said Mims, who had his second straight three-hit game. “People were hitting gaps, and it’s exciting to see people who haven’t hit all year coming out today and going 3-for-3 and hitting the ball good off a pretty good pitcher.”

PCA was to play at Huntington on Wednesday, but the game was rained out by a passing thunderstorm. When the Eagles left the school in Ferriday, La., an equipment bag containing most of their bats was left behind.

The mix-up left PCA with only one bat to use for Thursday’s game, but it hardly mattered.

After a scoreless first inning, PCA took the lead with an unearned run and Spencer Pell made it 2-0 with an RBI single. Mims followed with a two-run single and Busby tripled to center before scoring on Hill’s groundout to give the Eagles a 6-0 lead.

They added six more runs in the third. Back-to-back RBI doubles by Mixon and Towne started the rally, and Busby capped it with a two-run single. Mims and Moose Carney also had RBI singles in the inning as PCA stretched its lead to 12-0 and put the game out of reach.

“We hit the ball extremely well today,” PCA coach Randy Wright said. “The kid they had on the mound was really good. A left-handed kid throwing the ball in the low 80s, I thought he looked really good and we just battered him all around the park today. I could not be more pleased with our hitting today.”

Hales shut down Glenbrook (9-2) on the hill. He didn’t have his best stuff – he allowed three hits, walked three and hit three batters – but he had enough to stop the Apaches. Hales struck out eight and gave up only a pair of unearned runs in the fifth inning.
