Reid Homers As Northview Beats The Baker Gators 17-0

The Northview Chiefs  shut out the Baker Gators in four Tuesday, 17-0, for a big District 1-2A win. The Chiefs are now 16-6, 8-1 in the district.

The Chiefs held a 6-0 lead at the end of the first, and they were just getting warmed up. Northview dominated the second inning to widen their lead to 16-0. Northview added another in the third. The fourth inning was scoreless as the mercy rule gave Northview the win.

“We put a good emphasis on our offense and hitting the baseball; and it’s good to come out here and see us reap some rewards from what we have been concentrating on,” said Head Coach Sid Wheatley. “It was good to see these guys swing the bats, score the runs — it was just good baseball.”

Senior Austin Reid was 3-4 Tuesday night, with five runs, a double, two runs and an over-the-fence home run.

Reid picked up the win for the Chiefs on the mound, improving his record to 6-2.

Brandon Sheets went 1-3, with one RBI and one double;  Brad Lowery was 1-2 with three runs; Dabney Langhorne was 2-3 with 2 RBIs, Austin Arrington was 1-1 with two runs; Austin Llowery was 1-3 with a double and a RBI; Heath Burkett was 1-1 with two runs; Hunter Black  went 1-2 with 2 RBIs; and Tyler Brooks was 1-1 for the Chiefs.

The Chiefs will be on the road Thursday night against Jay, their final district game of the year.

“I know they are going to be ready for us,” Wheatley said Tuesday night. “We’ve got to come to work and continue to hit the baseball. This time of the year, especially leading up the district tournament and potential playoffs.”

Tuesday night was Senior Night for the Chiefs as they recognized senior players Austin Reid, Heath Burkett, Brad Lowery, Austin Lowery, Dakota Stuckey, Aaron Chancery and Shakel Holmes.
