BPCC would blow the game open by scoring four runs in the fifth inning. Anson Eldridge’s two-RBI double scored Mills and Kyle Reece, who both walked.
BPCC started the scoring in the first inning when Elliot Hebert hit a solo homer. JJC knotted the game up at one in the top of the second inning on Jake Klepacz’s solo homer.
Jayden Saylor got the win for the Cavaliers. He allowed two hits and one run over three innings, striking out four and walking one. Landon Foster, Jacob Gilcrease, and Kent Berry all go work in relief.
James Patock took the loss for the Wolves . He allowed seven hits and seven runs over four and two-thirds innings, striking out four.
BPCC hit one home run on the day. Hebert had a long ball in the first inning.
With the win BPCC improves to 8-8 on the season, while the loss drops JJC to 5-4. The Cavaliers are hoping to move up their Region XIV series with Navarro College to Thursday, Mar. 12. The teams are trying to get ahead of the predicted inclement weather this weekend.
