When two teams combine for 16 errors, the outcome of a game is usually one or two runs,but not so Monday night when Bowling Green took on WCCA.

Sutton Olive’s solid pitching performance and timely hitting in the bottom of the third inning allowed the Rams to overcome six errors as well as five combined passed balls and wild pitches as they defeated the Buccaneers 14-4 in five innings.

“We had a couple of pickoffs and throw-outs and key strikeouts that got us out of harm’s way,” WCCA head coach Ray Olive said. “I truly don’t know how a team can commit (that many) errors and win.”

Sutton Olive was one of the key factors in the Rams’ win. He held Bowling Green to just two hits while striking out three and walking three in four and a third innings.

“They had some good hard shots and we bobbled them,” coach Olive said. “They had runners on second and third a lot and, for the most part, we got out of those jams.”

WCCA (4-4) jumped out to a 3-0 lead at the end of the first inning before Bowling Green scored one run each in the top of the second and third innings to trail by just one run.

Then the Rams put the game out of reach by scoring eight runs on four of their seven hits in the bottom of the third inning to make it an 11-2 ball game. Colin Doré, who went 3-for-4, had a two-run double and George Davis, who was 2-for-3, had an RBI single.

“It was just timely hitting,” coach Olive said. “I thought we played well.”

Block 11, Harrisonburg 0

HARRISONBURG — With two players out for the season, Block head coach Scott Green had to wonder how his team would respond Monday afternoon at Harrisonburg.

The Bears responded quite well despite having to reshuffle the lineup as they pounded out 12 hits and scored in every inning to 10-run rule the Bulldogs in five innings.

“They had a good attitude today. They came out ready to play,” coach Green said. “Evan White moved to first. We put some players in who hadn’t played at all.”

John Davis pitched three innings and no runs and no hits while striking out three and walking just one batter. Harrisonburg’s only hit was a single later in the game.

Block (4-3) opened the game up with three runs in the top of the first inning and never looked back. The Bears then blew the game wide open with five runs in the top of the third for a 9-0 lead.

As coach Green noted, the real test for Block occurs today when the Bears host a good Delhi Charter team.

Riverfield 17, Tensas Academy 3

ST. JOSEPH — The Raiders had four players account for all nine of their hits and took advantage of eight errors to defeat the Chiefs in five innings Monday afternoon.

Riverfield set the tone for this game by scoring 12 runs in the top of the first inning. From there, it was just a matter of how many runs the Raiders would end up scoring. Mills led the way for the Raiders by going 3-for-7 with a double – the only extra-base hit of the game.

The only bright spot for Tensas (1-5) was that the Chiefs scored three runs in the bottom of the fourth inning to avoid a potential shutout.

Rayville 7, Vidalia 4

RAYVILLE, La. — After playing four games last weekend at the Pineville Tournament, the Vikings ended up with a shortage in pitching and it showed as they fell to the Class 3A Hornets on the road Monday night.

Michael Curry was the losing pitcher for Vidalia, which lost its third straight game and fell to 7-4 overall. The Vikings don’t play again until Thursday when they take on Jena at the Vidalia High School Baseball Classic.
