West Lincoln captured two wins in their own baseball classic Friday and Saturday as the Bears blanked the South Pike Eagles 19-0 Friday night and edged Natchez 5-4 in Saturday’s contest.

“Our guys had a great weekend,” said West Lincoln coach David Gilbert. “I still feel we are a young team that can improve but we played well this weekend. We had two good pitching performances this weekend from Seth Bivens and Daniel Spears that were huge for our team.

“Our hitters put the ball in play and made things happen and that is what it’s all about offensively,” said Gilbert. “I think that this season and the future of West Lincoln baseball is heading in the right direction.”

The Bears (2-0) continue action Tuesday as they travel to McComb to take on the Tigers in a varsity game only starting at 6 p.m.
