Rebels congratulate Derek Carr on homerun.

(McKenzie - April 21) The McKenzie Rebels and visiting Huntingdon Mustangs were sluggish as very little action occurred in the first two innings.

The Mustangs sent three up and three down to start the third inning.

Following a pop-up by Kyle Kirk, Drew Brown was walked. Rusty Chapman hit a single to place Brown in scoring position. Derek Carr was up next and hit a controversial home run, scoring three RBIs and giving McKenzie a 3-0 lead. Nick Chappell walked and a pop-up and groundout to end the inning.

Mustang Colin Laman hit a double to begin fourth inning action. Brayden Baxter hit a pop-up out. Cole McAdams hit a double through an infield gap to bring Laman home, making the score 3-1. Blake Burke was walked. Caleb Crocker hit a sacrifice groundout to bring a runner to third, but starting Rebel pitcher Clint Kee threw a strikeout to end the top of the fourth.

Rebel Luke Anderson struck out swinging. Brandon Sellers hit a single and Kyle Kirk advanced him to second with a sacrifice groundout. Drew Brown hit a pop-up to end the fourth inning.

Huntingdon sent three up and three down in the top of the fifth inning.

Chapman hit a single and advanced to second on a sacrifce bunt by Carr. Chappell hit a single before starting Mustang pitcher McAdams struck out Tyler Reeder. Parker Jones swatted a single, bringing home Chapman to extend the lead 4-1. Anderson walked to load the bases, but McAdams struck out Sellers to end the fifth inning.

A walk from Baxter was all the Mustangs could produce in the sixth inning as McAdams hit a pop-up and two Huntingdon batters struck out.

Kirk led off with a single and Brown was hit with a pitch to start the bottom of the sixth inning. Chapman tapped a well-placed bunt and beat the throw to first to load the bases with no outs. Carr hit a ball deep into centerfield with a ground rule double to score two more runs for McKenzie, furthering the lead to 6-1. Mustang coaches intentionally walked Chappell to load the bases again, hoping to set up a double play. Reeder hit a RBI single and extending the lead to 7-1. Jones swatted a shot deep into leftfield, resulting in a ground rule double extending the lead 9-1. Anderson struck out swinging, followed by RBI singles from Sellers and Kirk, which decided the game with McKenzie winning 11-1.
