CENTREVILLE — After losing a district doubleheader on the road to Central Private School Saturday, the Centreville Academy Tigers got back on the winning track with a 10-0 win over the Adams County Christian School Rebels in five innings Monday afternoon.
Zach Moore went all five innings and held ACCS to just four hits. He struck out eight batters and walked four. Luke Thomas was charged with the loss after giving up seven runs on three hits in three innings. The defense behind him did not help him as the Rebels committed four errors.
Centreville led 1-0 after one inning of play before putting the game out of reach with six runs in the bottom of the second inning. The Tigers scored one run in the bottom of the fourth and two runs in the bottom of the fifth to defeat the Rebels by way of the 10-run-rule after five innings. Noah Burns went 2-for-3 with one run batted in and Tyler Caston had a double.
ACCS (2-6) resumes MAIS District 5-AA play at 6 p.m. today when it hosts Prentiss Christian School. Centreville Academy (15-5) will look to stay in the hunt in MAIS District 6-AA when it travels to Clinton, La., to face Silliman Institute at 6:30 p.m. today.

The damage done to the Concordia Recreation District 3 Complex as a result of Friday night’s severe weather forced Vidalia High School’s baseball and softball games on Monday afternoon to be postponed.
