VIDALIA, La. &045; Sitting through a 3 1/2-hour contest where the Vidalia Vikings dropped a 12-7 decision to Oak Grove due in part to 11 errors was bad enough Monday.

The worst part about it?

It rained the entire time.

It was enough to make VHS head coach Johnny Lee Hoffpauir go home and go straight to bed after neither team played great ball before the six-inning game came to a close. The Vikings used six pitchers, had a number of mental mistakes and struggled in the loss to 1A Oak Grove.

&uot;We played horrible &045; that’s my comment on it,&uot; Hoffpauir said. &uot;Just terrible. We didn’t play very smart. What I’m totally disappointed about is the mental aspect of the game was terrible. We weren’t in it.&uot;

Oak Grove took an early 2-0 lead after the first and 5-0 lead after seven Vidalia errors before the Vikings battled back to tie it up at 5-5 in the third. But the Vikings had the bases loaded with two outs in that inning before a baserunning snafu ended the threat.

Oak Grove answered with seven runs in the fifth inning to blow it open.

The Vikings got two runs in the sixth when Reid Simpson cranked a two-run homer.
