MOUNT VERNON, Ga. – Brewton-Parker Baseball bounces back into the winning column after opening game one of the three-game weekend series against Calumet (Ind.).

The Barons (5-13) calmed the Crimson Wave (3-5) with a 20-4 win.

How It Happened

The Barons were able to produce a lot of offense for the night, scoring at least one run in each inning played. Brewton-Parker opened the scoring in the bottom of the first inning with Tony Rudolph doubling to put Taz Worrell into scoring position. After a ground out from Matt Collins, Worrell was able to score. BPC closed out the inning with one hit and left two runners on base.

Brewton-Parker added two additional runs in the second inning as Mackenzie McDowell and Ethan Frasca were able to come home off just one hit. BPC left three runners on base as Calumet managed to hold most of the threat back. After two innings pitched so far, Ty Cook struck out five batters in just seven at-bats.

The third quarter was busy for the Barons as they managed to score seven runs on three hits and took advantage of an error from the Crimson Wave. Brewton-Parker took a commanding 10-0 run and did not look back.

Calumet finally scored with two hits and left one on base in the fourth inning. For the Barons, the bats began to heat up as BPC scored six runs on five hits and an error. BPC's 10-0 lead jumped to a 16-1 lead quickly. After dealing with Calumet quickly, Brewton-Parker gathered an additional three runs and had the opportunity to bring home three, but they were left on base.

The Crimson Wave was working hard to get more runs on the board being down by such a large margin. Calumet scored three runs in the sixth to make the score 19-4 but the deficit was far too large to recover. The Barons remained in control for the rest of the game and even added one last score off a wild pitch to move the final to 20-4.
