Payson Seymour benefits from 13 walks, five errors to cruise to easy road victory
CAMP POINT, Ill. — The Payson Seymour baseball team made Camp Point Central pay for its mistakes.
The Indians used timely hits and aggressive baserunning to take advantage of 13 walks and five errors in a 15-2 victory on Tuesday.
The Indians led 2-1 entering the top of the third, but a catcher’s interference call on Luke Ippensen and a throwing error by Ippensen on Nolan Sparks’ steal of second base brought in three runs.
Hunter Miller delivered a two-out, two-RBI single in the fourth after a single and a walk to begin the inning. The Indians cashed in another leadoff walk in the fifth when Dalton Phillips singled home Mason Haden, who stole second and third during that at-bat.
A double and two walks loaded the bases with two outs in the sixth, then Brody Dieker cleared the bases with a double to stretch the Indians’ lead to 11-2.
The first seven batters of the top of the seventh reached via five walks, a hit by pitch and a single, allowing the Indians to tack on four more runs.
Nate Peters and Garrett Neisen each had two hits for the Panthers (6-11). Miller had two hits and four RBIs for the Indians (5-9).
