PERKINSTON, Miss. (MGCCC Athletics) - Mississippi Gulf Coast destroyed Southwest Mississippi in a pair of five-inning games Wednesday at Ken âCurlyâ Farris Field.
The Bulldogs won the opener 10-0 on a shutout by Hayden Robb (Fr., Vancleave/Vancleave) and pounded out 14 hits in a 13-2 victory punctuated by Noah Blythe (Fr., Lexington, Ky./Tates Creek) hitting his seventh home run.
âIt was probably our best all-around doubleheader yet,â Gulf Coast coach Wes Thigpen said. âOne of the things I was most proud of was our two-strike hitting. Itâs come far in the last couple of weeks. Guys look more and more comfortable now. Theyâre putting together better at-bats, we defended it well and guys threw strikes. Thatâs a good combination.â
