It was a career day for Sullivan South pitcher Dustin Mohr, as he went 3-4 with a grand slam and 4 RBI’s as the Sullivan South Rebels (17-18) crushed the Powell Valley Vikings, 11-1 at Buster Taylor Field. “We all hit the ball good today and made no errors. That was the difference for us in this game,” said Mohr, whose team improved one win to being at .500. Mohrs’ grand slam came with three on in the top of the second and also had a single and a double. Not only did Mohr have a awesome day hitting the ball, but he also pitched a great game. He pitched a complete game, allowing one run off of four hits and struck out three. Powell Valley’s Cody Zirkle had a tough outing. He gave up six runs on six hits in 1 1/3 innings, including Mohr’s grand slam. “I try to influence the fact that there has only been one team with a losing record in the history of Sullivan South baseball,” says Sullivan South coach Anthony Richardson. “It motivates the team to try their best to win.”
Sullivan South will play it next game against Unaka on Wednesday. South has already beaten Unaka this year, 11-1. The team will try to even its’ mark at 18-18 and not become the second team in the history of Sullivan South baseball history to have a record below .500. It will mark a special game too, as it will be the last for the seniors on the team. “It’s bad to see these kids go,” says Richardson. “I’ve had most of them 3-4 years. Senior night is one that will be special.”
