BPCC belts six home runs, crushes Champion Christian 15-5 in six innings

BOSSIER CITY, La. - The Bossier Parish baseball team belted six home runs in a 15-5 crushing of Champion Christian College in game one of Monday's doubleheader.

Andrew Mills, Cole Ketzner, Elliot Hebert, Ron Franklin and Gavin Baird all homered for the Cavaliers.

Leading 13-5 with two outs in the bottom of the sixth, Mills hit a towering blast over the scoreboard in left-center field for his second homer of the game. Collin Edmonds drew a walk, then went to second on a wild pitch before Dale Fulmer's triple plated Edmonds with the winning run.

BPCC took a 2-1 lead in the first inning, then erupted for six runs in the second, three of those runs coming off the bat off Baird, who blasted a long home run over the right field wall.

After Champion pitcher Jeff Arnold's grand slam in the top of the third made it an 8-5 game, BPCC would add a run in the bottom of the inning. The Cavaliers took firm control the game with a 4-run fourth inning. Ketzner and Hebert hit back-to-back homers to lead off the inning, then two batters later Franklin hit another homer. The fourth run of the frame would come on Mason Hammonds' RBI double that scored Jaden Adams, who had reached on an error.

Jayden Saylor earned his third win of the season by tossing two and one third's scoreless innings in relief. Saylor did not allow a hit but walked three and struck out five to even his record to 3-3 on the season.
