FRANKLIN FURNACE — The Green Bobcats did what they were supposed to do and it resulted in what they wanted to do.
The Bobcats got pitching and hitting that resulted in an 18-0 five inning run-rule win over the Sciotoville East Tartans in a Southern Ohio Conference game on Monday.
Singleton struck out 10 of the 15 outs, walked two and allowed just one hit.
“Singleton threw a heck of a game. He threw strikes and did what you want your pitcher to do,” said Green coach Dan McDavid. “Offensively, we did what we were supposed to do.”
Will Shope singled to start the fifth inning for the only East hit.
The Bobcats had 16 hits with Eli Webb going 4-5 with four runs batted in, Mason Barber 3-4 with four RBi and Trevor Darnell 3-3 with four RBI.
Green (5-1, 1-0) jumped in front 7-0 in the first inning.
Webb singled, stole second, took third on an error and scored on Tanner Kimbler’s ground out.
Tayte Carver singled, stole second and scored when Bryce Ponn reached on an error. Singleton singled, both moved up on a wild pitch and Barber had a two-run single.
Caden Brammer doubled in a run and scored on a hit by Darnell. Webb then singled home Darnell.
Green scored twice in the second when Ponn and Barber singled, Brammer reached on catcher’s interference and Darnell had a two-run single.
The lead went to 14-0 in the third.
