The Panthers scored a run in the bottom of the fourth inning but Mount Pulaski was ready to end this one quickly in the fifth inning. An RBI single by Martin scored Kelly and even though Mount  Pulaski threatened later and eventually hit into a double play, Martin was able to score for the Hilltoppers on the hard hit ball and the lead was 12-2. 

 

 

 

Tanner Farris recorded three outs in the bottom of the fifth inning for Mount Pulaski by way of a groundout, strikeout and a pop out. His day's work included a fine five-inning effort highlighted by seven strikeouts. Farris gave up two runs on six hits as he earned the win.

 

Todd Kelly was 3-for-3 with two RBI's and three runs scored. Grant Davis was 3-for-4 with two runs scored and an RBI. 

 

Mount Pulaski improves to 9-2 on the season.
