The Mount Pulaski Hilltoppers defeated Blue Ridge 13-2 on Friday afternoon and improved their season record to 3-0. The Hilltoppers slugged 12 hits in the win and got solid pitching performances from Drew Martin and Tanner Farris. Martin earned the win by pitching three innings and only allowing one hit and one run. Martin struck out seven batters. At the plate Martin led the Hilltoppers by going 4-for-5. His plate appearances included two singles, a double and a home run. 

 

 

 

Mount Pulaski struck first over Blue Ridge with a run in the first inning on a bases loaded walk to Tanner Farris. The Hilltoppers scored three runs in the third inning, with a 2-run homer by Logan DeRight being the big blow. Grant Davis added an RBI single to make the score 4-0.

In the top of the fourth inning, Martin's 2-run shot padded the lead. After a 2-run double by Grant Davis, the Hilltoppers were cruising with an 8-1 lead. Jonathan Shehorn added an RBI double to make the score 9-1. 

 

The Hilltoppers added four more runs in the late innings as Martin's bat continued to sizzle and he added an RBI double to his day. Farris tallied an RBI single for Mount Pulaski and the other two Hilltopper runs came courtesy of wild pitches. Mount Pulaski came away easily with the 13-2 win and have a season opening 3-0 start to their credit. 

 

Mount Pulaski will play at home Tuesday versus Illini Central. First pitch is set for 4:30 p.m.
