Camden Griffith, Tenley Griffith, and Alex Young all had big nights for Gilman City Friday and Mason Preston locked down Stanberry as Gilman City bounced back with a 16-1 win following two tough losses to bigger schools Gallatin and Plattsburg. The Hawks raised their record to 6-4 with the win and need one more win to clinch a winning season for the year.
Brant Jensen led off the game with a double for Stanberry, but he was promptly picked off by Preston following a rundown, in which Jace Estrada hustled over from first base to apply the tag.
The Hawks wasted no time taking advantage as Parker Holcomb was plunked and Mason Preston walked on a 3-2 pitch. Camden Griffith homered to center to put the Hawks up 3-0. The rally continued as Alex Young was plunked. Jace Estrada walked. Alex Young grounded out and Andrew Young struck out, but Tenley Griffith singled them both in to make it 5-0. Nicholas Grover reached on a dropped third strike to keep the rally going since the dropped third strike rule applies with two outs even if first base is occupied. Parker Holcomb walked. Mason Preston was plunked, the third Hawk to get hit in the inning, to force in a run to make it 6-0.
After Alex Young reached on an error, he stole second to start the second inning. Dustin Ward walked. Tenley Griffith singled to drive in Alex Young to make it 7-0.
