MI baseball 1The Mount Ida Lions made the most of the second inning, scoring 13 runs to take a 15-3 lead, to earn a 17-3 victory over the Mountain Pine Red Devils.

The conference matchup between the Lions and Red Devils was originally scheduled to be played at Mount Ida Sat., April 4, but a wet field forced the game to Mountain Pine.

The Red Devils took advantage of home field as they jumped out to a 3-0 lead in the top of the first inning. Mount Ida scratched off back to back outs in their half of the frame before Cody Robertson slapped a fly ball deep enough for a double. Dakota Barrett swapped places with him to drive in the first Lion run of the day. Barrett would later score on a hit by Taylor Callum.

Mount Ida put the game away in the second with a stellar offensive performance, coming within one batter of batting through their lineup twice and scoring 13 runs.

The bunt seemed to be the spark the Lions needed with the inning ending with a 15-3 Mount Ida lead.

TJ Wilson and Cody Robertson would score in the bottom of the fourth to account for the 17-3 final.

Cody Robertson had four hits, a double, four runs and four RBIs. Jesse Lowry had two hits, two runs and three RBIs, while Taylor Callum had two hits, a run and three RBIs.
