Published 12:04 am Tuesday, March 26, 2013
BOGUE CHITTO — Cathedral had four extra-base hits, three of them home runs, and it still wasn’t enough as the Green Wave lost to the Bogue Chitto Bobcats 9-6 Monday night in an MHSAA Region 7-1A game.
The difference in the ball game was an eight-run rally by Bogue Chitto in the bottom of the second inning that erased a 1-0 deficit. After pitching a scoreless first inning, Austin Chauvin was chased from the mound after allowing six runs, three of them earned, while getting just one batter out in the bottom of the second. He gave up five hits, struck out one and walked one.
Kyle Bradley belted two home runs and went 2-for-4, Ty Brown hit a home run, and Thomas Garrity was 2-for-4 with a double for the Green Wave. However, those were the only three batters for Cathedral that got a hit off winning pitcher Brock Roberts.
Roberts also helped his own cause by going 3-for-4 with a double, Brice Roberts went 2-for-4 with a double, and Nick Parker was 2-for-3 with a double as the Bobcats pounded out 11 hits.
Cathedral (8-4, 2-1) plays at 7 p.m. today at home against Bogue Chitto.

MARKSVILLE, La. — Roper Craft, Josh Foucher and Kyle Coley combined to go 8-for-10 with each of them hitting a double as the Vidalia Vikings needed just five innings to take care of the Marksville Tigers Monday afternoon in an LHSAA District 3-3A game.
Coley went 3-for-3, Craft was 3-for-4, and Coley was 2-for-3 to lead the Vikings’ 12-hit attack. William Handjis was the winning pitcher as he allowed one earned run on four hits and two walks with two strikeouts. His solid pitching helped Vidalia overcome six errors.
The Vikings scored all of their runs in the first three innings — nine runs in the top of the first inning, six runs in the top of the second, and two runs in the top of the third. The Tigers scored one run in the bottom of the first inning and two in the bottom of the fourth.
