Wildcats Roll Over Giants, 15-0

Posted
SOUTH WHITLEY – Whitko scored seven times in the second inning, and plated eight more runs in the third to roll over visiting Marion 15-0 in five innings in the opening game of the baseball season for both teams.
A second game of the doubleheader was cancelled due to the weather.
Junior Landen Goff and senior Tanner Gaff each had two-run doubles in the second frame, and Riley Anderson drove in a pair of runs with a single to close out the frame.
In the third, Robby Owsley scored on a wild pitch, and a Goff single drove in Alex Robbins. Drew Bradford had a two-run double, with Anderson and  Ryan Day each driving in runs with singles.
Goff pitched three innings, striking out seven Giants while allowing one hit. Bradford pitched the last two innings, giving up one hit and striking out three. Neither pitcher allowed a walk in the game.
Whitko will open the road portion of its schedule today in Bourbon with a 5 p.m. game against Triton.
