VICKSBURG &045; With everyone’s minds on their respective district races this late in the season, Huntington wanted to get its game in with Porter’s Chapel.

On the ride back they were happy they did.

The Hounds got solid pitching from Trey Brashier and were flawless defensively to land a 4-2 win over a tough Eagles squad Monday. The Hounds (12-5) had just four hits, but they did the little things right like they’ve done so many times this season and held on for the win.

&uot;We pitched well and played defense well and scored a couple of runs like we always do,&uot; Huntington head coach Mitch Ashmore said. &uot;When you do that, I told our guys you have a chance to win &045; I don’t care who you play. We were able to do that.

&uot;That ball club is probably in Class A &045; if they’re not the top team in Class A, they’re in the top two. But for us to come up here and get a win like this against a good ball club, it was great for us.&uot;

Brashier provided a gutty performance against a good team by not walking any and holding the Eagles hitless until the sixth inning. He bested PCA starter Dan Ivey, who went the entire game and allowed only four hits.

Brashier gave up the two runs in the sixth on all four hits before settling down to finish it out.

&uot;He absolutely pitched a masterpiece game,&uot; Ashmore said. &uot;I’m sure they didn’t throw their top guy, which I know they didn’t. I thought we played a really, really sound baseball game for us. We’re a pretty good ball club if we do the things we need to do.&uot;

The Hounds got a run in the first when Huston Eliser got on, stole second, went to third on a groundout and scored on a fielder’s choice. They came back with three runs in the sixth, all of which were unearned.

Vidalia 15, Delhi 0

VIDALIA, La. &045; The biggest thing to come out of this one wasn’t the final score, the 11 hits or maybe even Jordan Brewer’s grand slam in the fourth.

Brett Hinson threw in a live game for the Vikings. He went just three innings against the Bears, but he got in about 40 pitches after being off the mound since early in the season.

He struck out five, walked only one and allowed one hit.

&uot;He did fine,&uot; Vidalia assistant Tim Herndon said. &uot;It was about what we expected. He’s a little weak-armed right now. He’s on the way back, it seems like.&uot;

The Vikings gave him all the room to work he needed in the first inning with a nine-spot to take the lead. Chris Ensminger and Hinson put up consecutive doubles, and Reid Simpson drove in a couple of runs with a single.

But Brewer topped them all with a grand slam with no outs in the fourth.

WCCA 4, Amite 2

WOODVILLE &045; Not only did the Rams get the win over Amite to avenge that earlier loss, but the two-run final score eclipsed the run differential and gave them the tie-breaker in the race for the District 6-A title.

This time the Rams still had troubles in the field, but Collin Dor came through when he needed to to keep the Rebels off the board. Amite left the bases loaded twice and even had a double with two outs in the seventh before Dor struck out the next batter to end it.

The junior hurler struck out 11, walked two and hit one.
