Some tough luck at the plate and one rough inning led to Porters Chapel Academy’s downfall on Monday.

Washington scored eight runs in its last two at-bats, including six in the top of the seventh inning, and took a 10-3 victory from PCA.

Parker Livingston went 2-for-4 with two doubles, two RBIs and two runs scored for Washington (5-2). He also earned the win with five solid innings on the mound, although PCA did hit the ball hard off him.

&#8220We hit the ball harder than we hit it all year, and we just kept hitting it right at them. We smoked the ball all night long,” PCA coach Randy Wright said.

PCA (4-2) scored three runs in the bottom of the fifth to take a short-lived 3-2 lead.

Brady Towne was hit by a pitch to start the rally and eventually scored on Spencer Pell’s sacrifice fly. RBI singles by Cole Smith and Chris Mixon later in the inning gave the Eagles the lead, but Washington answered in the sixth.

Livingston led off the inning with a double and PCA pitcher Matt Cranfield walked the next two batters. Cranfield then hit Chaz Nichols with a pitch to tie the game, and a PCA error allowed the go-ahead run to score.

Cranfield, making his first start of the season, allowed four hits and three walks in 5 2/3 innings and was saddled with the loss. He also struck out four.

&#8220For five innings, he was outstanding,” Wright said. &#8220I should have pulled him. That was my coaching mistake.”

Washington put the game away with six runs in the top of the seventh.

Adam Cummings led off with a double, and another base hit put two runners on for Livingston. He brought both in with his second double of the game to put the Generals ahead 6-3, and then the floodgates opened.

Two walks, two errors and a passed ball on a strikeout helped Washington keep the rally going and put the game out of reach.

The Eagles will try to rebound on Friday, when they face North Sunflower at 10 a.m. and Leake Academy at noon in the Veritas tournament at Millsaps College in Jackson.
