KIMBERLY A nine-run second inning thrusted the Hewitt-Trussville baseball team to a 13-9 road win over Mortimer Jordan on Tuesday night.
“To me, this is a good win against a really solid team,” said Hewitt-Trussville head coach Jeff Mauldin.
The Huskies sent 14 batters to the plate during the top of the second, collecting four hits, including a Riley Quick grand slam, to claim a 9-0 advantage. Hudson Boren singled home the first run before a walk and hit-by-pitch sent the second run across.
Mortimer Jordan starter Austin Morris proceeded to walk and plunk the third and fourth runs in before Quick emptied the bases with a towering grand slam to left field. Hewitt-Trussville went to the home-half of the second with a 9-0 lead.
