WYSOX - The Black Knights jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning on Monday and Austin Markel limited the Rams to just two hits in the victory.

In the opening inning Casey Huff led off with a single to left. The ball got past the left fielder moving Huff to third and he scored on a wild pitch.

Brandon Dinelli then drew a walk and Zack Ripic and Mason Roof followed with back-to-back RBI doubles. Roof scored on an error off the bat of Markel.

"We came out hitting the ball," Sexton said. "Hit, walk, hit, hit. They had some errors which helped, but even without the errors we probably go up 3-0. It was a really good start.

"Anytime you go down there and jump out and score early it gives you a good feeling. I'm pretty pleased with the way the kids kept tacking runs on. We certainly had opportunities and in most cases we capitalized on them."

Markel went the distance on the mound to improve to 3-0. He struck out five and walked four in the game.

"I am pretty pleased with Austin," Sexton said. "He had a pretty dominating night tonight. He only threw 74 pitches. He had a lot of first pitch outs. Four different times he got a batter out on one pitch. The two hits on him were a bloop single and a hard hit ball by (Cody) Pickett in the sixth up the middle.

"Besides that, he was never really in trouble. He walked two in the second, but he had a punch out to end that. Our defense also helped, we turned double plays in the sixth and seventh innings."
