FERRIDAY, La. – Huntington got a strong pitching performance from Barrett Kiser and took advantage of four Trinity errors to stun the Saints 6-0 Sunday at Huntington.

Kiser went the distance for the win and allowed only two hits, struck out seven and walked two.

Trinity did not play like the team that a day earlier won the MPSA Sub-District 6A title for the second year in a row.

&uot;I knew we were going to have a letdown and we did,&uot; said Trinity head baseball coach David King.

The win assured that Huntington (11-8) would not be swept by Trinity for the first time in nearly a decade.

Three times in the game the Saints (14-5) had a runner reach third base. Two were left stranded and the other, Walt Ketchings, was tagged out at home.

The game was scoreless until the bottom of the third when the Hounds scored two runs off starting pitcher Elliot Meng.

Steve Hinton reached first after being hit by a Meng pitch, second on a Barrett Arthur fielder’s choice and scored on a Kenneth Clayton single. Clayton scored on a Luke Davis single.

In the bottom of the fourth inning, Wyatt Kemp hit a lead-off single for the Hounds and scored when Clayton walked with the bases loaded.

However, the Hounds were unable to scored another run in the inning when Kiser flied out to center fielder Bobby Craig.

Huntington scored its last three runs of the game in the bottom of the sixth inning, two off Trinity errors.

Cody Turnage reached first when first baseman William McGehee committed an error. Turnage and Hinton, who singled, would later score on an error by shortstop Hunter Dale.

Clayton got to first when he was hit by a Ketchings pitch and later scored on an error by third baseman Wes Middleton.

Meng took the loss for Trinity, giving up three runs and five hits, striking out four and walking two in four innings.

Ketchings allowed three runs and just one hit and struck out two in two innings.
