Tigers run-rule Warriors

A big day from the top of the Circleville lineup on Wednesday led the Tigers to a 10-0 non-league win over host Adena in five innings.
The Tigers wasted no time in jumping out to a 2-0 lead.
Nolan West and Scott Moats opened the game with back-to-back singles and Wyatt Thatcher smacked a line drive double to right that knocked in both runners.
Circleville doubled its lead an inning later.
Angelo Travis opened the second with a single to left and was joined on the base pads one out later when Matt Bradley worked a walk and West singled to left.
Moats was then hit by a pitch to force in Travis. Thatcher followed with a single to left that chased home Bradley.
The Tigers blew open the game with a five-run third on their way to a run-rule win.
The top third of the Tigers lineup recorded eight of the ten hits on the evening, led by Thatcher’s perfect scorecard of gong 4-for-4 with a pair of doubles, six RBI and a run scored.
