No. 4 Pearl River splits road doubleheader with East Mississippi

Dylan Dunaway - PRCC Sports Information Director

SCOOBA, Miss. — It was a tale of two ballgames for the No. 4 Pearl River baseball team Saturday at East Mississippi. The Wildcats picked up a dominant 12-6 victory in game one, but the Lions rallied late in game two to win 3-1 for a series split.

"It's tough to go on the road in this league and sweep. You have to play really good to do that," Pearl River coach Michael Avalon said. "In game two, their guy was better than our nine. He did a great job. It's just frustrating when you let one guy dictate your success and failure. We have to find a way to be better than that."

GAME ONE

The scoring happened early and often for Pearl River (32-8 overall; 13-5 MACCC) in the first game of the day. Ian Montz(Lafayette, La.; Acadiana) worked a seven-pitch walk from the leadoff spot and stole second base two pitches later. With two outs in the opening frame, Logan Walters (Petal) laced an RBI double into the left field corner, 1-0.
