Vicksburg High’s baseball team finished March the same way it started — with a victory.

Tyler Carter went 2-for-3 with a double, triple and four RBIs, Mincer Minor drove in three runs, and the Gators routed Callaway 13-0 on Thursday.

It was Vicksburg’s (4-12, 1-1 MHSAA Region 2-6A) first win since March 1. It’ll play again April 2 at home against Columbus.

The Gators scored in all four innings they batted by mixing a combination of eight hits, five walks and six errors by Callaway.

Chris Green hit an RBI triple and scored on a double by Kealon Bass to bring in the first two runs in the first inning. Bass hit an RBI single and Carter followed with an RBI double in the second as the Gators extended their lead to 8-0, and then they added three runs in the third inning and two in the fourth to finish the game via the mercy rule.

Bass finished 2-for-2 with two RBIs, while Green was 1-for-2 with one RBI and two runs scored. Kaleb Doss also had two hits, and he and Peyton Calvin each scored twice.

Bass pitched 2 2/3 innings and allowed one hit and no walks while striking out five batters. Doss pitched the last 1 1/3 innings and had two strikeouts.
