Morris 15, G-MU 9

COPES CORNERS – Morris jumped out to a 7-0 lead before G-MU got on the board, and the Mustangs’ seven-run sixth inning put the game out of reach Wednesday.

Bryant Holmes hit a two-run single in a four-run first inning, and after the Mustangs nibbled for three more runs, took advantage of numerous G-MU mistakes to score seven more. Matt Joyce’s two-run single capped the frame. “As it turns out, we could have easily been out of that inning (the sixth) with no damage,” said G-MU coach Jim Johnson. “We made some errors and poor mistakes of where to throw the ball.”

Luke Acanfora ended G-MU’s seven-run sixth inning with a two-run double, and eighth-grader Corin Todd paced the Raiders with three hits. Cody Hall and Tim Sloan finished with two hits apiece.

G-MU (4-7) plays at Afton today.
