There’s something about playing Bayou Academy that brings out the worst in Porters Chapel Academy.

The Eagles committed a total of eight errors and only had six hits in two games as they were swept by Bayou in a doubleheader Monday, 11-2 and 13-4.

The Colts have beaten PCA three times this season, and outscored them by a margin of 37-9. PCA has committed 16 errors in those three games.

PCA actually led 4-2 after the first inning of game two on Monday, but Bayou scored three runs in the second inning and at least once in every other inning to win 13-4. J.T. Davis went 3-for-4 with an RBI and three runs scored for the Colts. Jack Haynes drove in two runs and scored two more, and Griff Roberts was 2-for-3 with a triple, RBI and two runs scored.

Leon Simms had an RBI double in the first inning for PCA, and Brayden Ray followed him with a two-run double.

“You score four and then give three back right after that. We’ve got to get more of the mentality that you can’t let down and let them back in the game. You’ve got to keep adding on,” PCA coach Wade Patrick said. “They got the momentum back, and right now we can’t get it back. When you’re giving a team five outs in every inning, it’s going to hurt you.”

Game one was close until the fourth inning, when a pair of two-out errors contributed to four runs that put Bayou ahead 7-1.

Another error and a passed ball in the fifth inning led to four more runs for the Colts, and they went on to win 11-2.

Leon Simms went 2-for-3 with a solo home run for PCA, while pitchers Garrett Hutchins, Brandon Thompson and Wade Dickard combined for nine strikeouts. They also gave up nine hits and walked five batters, and the errors behind them didn’t help matters.

Patrick said part of the reason for PCA’s struggles was that it’s found itself in an awkward part of the schedule. Two scheduled doubleheaders last week were rained out, so Monday’s game was its first since March 3.

It’ll play again Tuesday at 3 p.m. against Central Holmes in the Benton Academy tournament, and then won’t play again for another six days until its district opener next Monday at home against Franklin Academy.

“You still don’t get to play toward the end of the week, but just to play was big. To see some good pitching again, and tomorrow to see another team, hopefully when we come back it’ll be a good barometer for us,” Patrick said. “We’ve played some good teams. I’m hoping once the conference season starts it’ll benefit us.”
