ICC open things up with a five-run fourth inning.  Hayden Harris (Pontotoc) scored when Eli Hancock (Houston) was hit by a pitch with bases loaded. Kylan Carter (Houston) scored on a balk before Lane Domino (Fulton) drove in Bailey Allbritton (Duck Hill) and Hancock on a line drive to right field. Connar Gardner (Southaven) put the fifth run on the board in a double steal situation before the Trojans could get out of the inning.

The Indians added a pair of runs in the fifth on a double by Gardner and a single by Drew Capobianco (Saltillo). Riley Davis (Collierville, Tenn.) scored on the second bases-loaded balk of the game before Carter drove in Harris on a grounder to center field in the sixth.

Brady Davis (Hamilton) picked up the win after striking out six, walking zero and allowing no runs in five innings of work.

Game 2: Trojans 4, Indians 2

The Indians fell behind 3-0 in the second and couldn't come up with timely hits late in the game to complete the rally in a 4-2 loss to the Trojans in the nightcap.

Davis reached on an infield single to start the fourth inning before scoring on a double to left by Harris. Bryce Capobianco (Saltillo) ripped a single to center to push across Harris before the Trojans could get out of the inning.

A bang-bang play out call at first on a ground ball to third erased a run off the board for the Indians in the sixth.

Collin Babin (Ponchatoula, La.) was the pitcher of record after giving up three earned runs on four hits with four strike out in four and a third innings on the mound.
