Picayune 7   Pearl River Central 3

Bales' grand slam ignites Tide past Blue Devils

Senior Jared Bales hit a grand slam in the top of the fifth to give Picayune

a comfortable 6-0 lead and the Maroon Tide held for a 7-3 win.

The Maroon Tide took advantage of four hit batsmen, a walk, and

a PRC error to lead 2-0 before Bales' blast.  Bryce Ladner went the

distance for Picayune scattering 6 hits while striking out nine.  

Aaron Lee, who had three hits, doubled in two runs in the bottom

of the 7th inning for Pearl River Central.
