For those who weren't able to listen, Mt. Vernon won tonight's sectional championship with a 6-3 victory over No. 2 New Palestine.
Zach McKinney had the big blow for MV -- a three-run homer in the third to straightaway centerfield in the third that broke a 1-1 tie. MV added another run on Zach McFarland's RBI double in the inning, and Troy Montgomery hit a solo homer in the sixth to provide a key insurance run.
Logan Blair scattered 10 hits to get the pitching victory. He is now 8-2 on the year. NP got on the board early on David Gunst's solo homer in the top of the first, but the Dragons couldn't get the deficit below three after McKinney's homer -- Gunst singled and scored in the fifth, and doubled and scored in the seventh. Blair worked himself out of a bases-loaded jam in the fifth to preserve the four-run lead.
MV will play Crawfordsville at 11 a.m. Saturday in the opening game of the Mt. Vernon regional. Join Andrew and Chris for the call. http://www.justin.tv/hancockcountysports
