WC took down VHS 12-2 on Thursday

Warren Central High School baseball team took on crosstown rivals Vicksburg High and came out with a 12-2 win on Thursday.

“This is a pretty good team win because we stepped up and played our part and did our job,” Connor Watkins said.

The Gators pulled in their two runs in the first inning after a hit from Kearris Gilliam. Seth Sterling would respond for the Vikings as he brought in a couple of runs from a nice hit to tie the game at two.

WC would pick up four runs in the second after a hit by Charlie Appleton and Sterling would also bring in another two runs from a hit.

Jack Wright would strike out a quick five batters early on in the win until Connor Watkins took over on the mound.

Late RBIs from Watkins, Cade Fairly and Kylan Landers along with a few walks and a double from Blake Channell would give the Vikings a big win.

Watkins came in and struck out three batters and allowed zero hits.

Sterling finished with four RBIs and two hits while Appleton added two hits and two RBIs.

“I saw the ball pretty good and it was definitely a good team win,” Sterling said.

Channell, Landers, Fairley, Wright, and Jonathon Wells all had a hit.

Gilliam went 2 for 3 with two RBIs for the Gators and Connor Harrigill finished with one hit.
