UNION, S.C. – On Wednesday evening, the Inman Dixie Majors baseball team played their third game in as many days this week and their second on the road, this time against Buffalo.
Inman struck early and often en route to a 16-1 win in five innings. In the opening frame, Paxton Tolleson cranked a two-run home run to left field for an early 2-0 lead. Buffalo responded in their first turn at bat with a run on a fielder’s choice, cutting the deficit in half. Tolleson also scored three runs in the game. When the second inning arrived, that’s when the Inman bats came to life, posting a two six-run frames, stretching their lead out to 14-1 at that juncture of the contest. “We started off quick in the first inning,” Inman coach Steve Skinner said. “We pitched and hit the ball pretty well as a group tonight. Right now, we’re playing really good baseball. Our guys have hustled all season long and given everything they’ve got.” At the plate, Grayson Selepes drove in two runs with a pair of doubles and scored three times. Vance Wagner went two-for-two with a double and scored a run. Triton McSwain drove in a run and also scored. On the mound, Tyler Rogers and Nelson Crooke combined to throw a one-hitter for Inman. Inman (6-2) will return home to Jim Everhart Field for a twinbill against Spartanburg that begins at 6 PM. The doubleheader will be two (2) five inning contests, one of which is a make-up game from last week that was postponed due to inclement weather. Both games will also be broadcast live on UpstatePrep-Cast.net. -Justin Mathis Comments are closed.
