Six-Run First Inning Helps Chipola to 17-5 Win

By Joc Calloway

A Michael Revell grand slam with 1 out in the first inning was the major blow in a six-run first inning to help pace the Indians to a 17-5 win over Pearl River.  Revell’s homerun was followed by an Eric Sauls two-run double which plated Austin Wright and Aaron Etchison to finish the big inning.  The Indians recorded 19 hits on the afternoon and 6 batters had multiple hits.  Sauls (4-5, 2 2B’s, 3 RBI’s), Blake Newalu (3-4, 2B, run scored), Joey Rapp (3-4, 2 HR’s, 3 RBI’s), LeVon Washington (2-5, RBI), Etchison (2-4) and Revell (2-5, HR, 5 RBI’s).

Chipola starting pitcher Jake Eliopoulos struck out four batters in 2.2 innings while giving up one earned run.  Reliever Duncan Midkiff (1-0) recorded his first win of the young season.  Midkiff pitched 3.1 innings, allowed one earned run, and had five strikeouts. For Pearl River, Zach Farmer and Temple Harvey both collected two hits apiece.

Chipola will return to action on Thursday, February 4th versus St. John’s River in Marianna.  Game time is set for 5:00pm.  Also Chipola will play all weekend in the FiberCare JUCO National Classic in Marianna.  Game times are at 11:00 on Friday, 4:00 and 7:00pm on Saturday, and 12:00pm on Sunday.
