BASSFIELD – The Loyd Star Hornets are riding a two-game winning streak as they exterminated the Bassfield Yellowjackets 13-1 Tuesday night in Region 6-2A baseball action.

“Peyton Flowers pitched a great game and hit the ball really well to give him some support,” said Loyd Star coach Jared Britt. “Brett Calcote also had a good day at the plate for us. Overall, I am proud to get the win, but we cannot allow ourselves to be satisfied with this win. We must continue working hard to get better every day.”

The Hornets (5-3, 1-0) will be in action today as they visit Brookhaven to battle Panthers in a make-up game due to bad weather earlier in the season. The junior varsity game will start at 5 p.m., followed by varsity action at 7 p.m.

Peyton Flowers (2-1) was on fire on the mound for Loyd Star as collecting 11 strikeouts and walked only two batters in five innings of action.

Curtis Mikell took the loss for the Yellowjackets with two strikeouts and three walks.

Brett Calcote powered the Hornets with a pair of two-run home runs in the first and third innings. Peyton Flowers continued to spark Loyd Star with three singles. Hayden Brownlee and Konner Allen provided two singles apiece. Caleb Yarborough and Levi Redd hit safely.

Alex Reese provided the only hit for Bassfield, which was a double.
