Raider senior Josh Jones rips a pitch Friday during his team’s victory over Hoover at RCHS. |
Roane County ran its baseball record to 11-4 after picking up three victories last week.
Alex Mace homered to left to drive in two first inning runs and the Raiders cruised past host Parkersburg Catholic 13-3 in six innings last Wednesday.
Mace also doubled and had three RBIs on the day, as did teammate Jackson Craddock. Evan Greathouse went 3-for-4 with a double that plated two Raiders in a six-run sixth frame.
Ethan Batten worked five innings to get the win, with Quentin Corbitt adding a hitless inning of relief.
Coach Jeff Thompson’s team got by Wirt County 5-4 in Elizabeth Thursday. Two runs in the seventh made the difference for RCHS in the LKC South contest. Josh Jones pitched a complete game and Craddock tripled and drove in four runs.
The Raiders did most of their damage early in beating Herbert Hoover 14-9 Friday night in Spencer. Roane scored 12 times in the first three innings and held off the Huskies to make a winner out of starting pitcher Cody Starcher. Daniel Eisenberg went 3-for-3 with a triple, and Craddock, Jones and Jared Reed each knocked in a pair of runs.
