WESSON – The Copiah-Lincoln Wolfpack split a Saturday baseball double header with the visiting Blue Devils of Kaskaskia Collge (Ill.)

Co-Lin 4, Kaskaskia 3 

The bottom of the third was when Co-Lin made their move, scoring all four runs in the inning. Sophomore Austin Resser started the inning off with a no-out double. Wesley Watts moved Resser to third with a bunt. Freshman infielder Jordan Antley brought Resser home with an RBI single. Antley then stole second standing up, moved to third on a passed ball, and scored on a wild pitch. The inning continued with sophomores Adrian Brown and Choc Hubbard both drawing walks. The duo then pulled off a double steal to move to second and third base. Sophomore Logan Smith brought Brown home with a sacrifice fly and Hubbard scored on a Reed Taylor single. The Blue Devils from Centralia, Illinois added one run apiece in the fourth, fifth, and sixth innings. Trailing 4-3, the visitors had the tying run on third with one out in the top of the seventh, but were stopped from scoring by an outstanding defense play by Co-Lin shortstop Antley. A hard hit ball bounced out of the glove of Co-Lin third baseman Tanner Parvin, Antley fielded the ball on the hop and gunned down a Kaskaskia runner at home plate. The next batter would hit a fly ball to center field and Co-Lin had escaped with a one run win.

Freshman pitcher Cole Langdon (2-0) picked up the win after pitching six complete and giving up three unearned runs on three hits. Landon struck out three and walked one. Freshman Tanner Jones picked up his first career save after pitching the top of the seventh. The Pearl High School product struck out one and walked one.

Jared Waldoff was charged with the loss after giving up four earned runs on six hits.

Kaskaskia 7, Co-Lin 0 

Three Blue Devil pitchers combined to hold Co-Lin without a hit in the game two shutout. Starter Hunter Hart pitched the first five innings and was relieved by Mason McReaken in the sixth. Darren Probst pitched the seventh inning. Hart struck out seven and walked three. McReaken struck out one and Probst walked two.

Kaskaskia had 10 hits and saw Co-Lin commit four errors. Freshman Austin Odom (1-1) took the loss after surrendering five earned runs in 2.1 innings on seven hits. Austin Douglas, Alex Smith, and Jackson Cole all pitched in relief.
