LUCASVILLE — Good pitching met good hitting.

The hitting won.

The Lucasville Valley Indians collected 12 hits as they beat the Rock Hill Redmen 11-2 Friday in the Division III sectional finals.

“(Ryan) Hackworth threw well. He picked off two runners. They just hit good pitches,” said Rock Hill coach Barry Litteral.

“The game was 3-2 at the end of four and 6-2 at the end of five and we’re still in the ball game but they just started hitting the ball.”

Rock Hill took a 1-0 lead in the top of the first inning as Drew Kidd, Devin Darby, Cody Massie and Jeremy Blagg drew four straight walks.

Blagg was 2-2 with a double.

Valley tied the game in the bottom of the first inning but the Redmen went ahead 2-1 in the top of the fourth inning on a one-out solo home run by Matt Jenkins.

However, Valley took a 3-2 lead with two runs in the bottom of the inning and added three more in the fifth to lead 6-3.

The Indians blew the game open with five runs in the sixth inning.

Rock Hill ends the season 14-9.

“I’m proud of my kids. They never quit. We just didn’t have enough hits or baserunners,” said Litteral. “We had a good year. We had a lot of support from the fans and we appreciate that.”

Valley is now 18-5.
