KEYSTONE HEIGHTS - Gage Hall hit a bases loaded triple deep to centerfield to put three Keystone Heights runs on the board in the third inning and pitcher Connor O’Steen whiffed 12 batters as the Indians beat Middleburg 10-0 Tuesday night in Keystone Heights.

Neither team could generate serious scoring threats in the first two innings, but Middleburg pitcher Sam Higginbotham walked three Keystone Heights batters to load up the bases for Hall’s bomb in the third.

Keystone Heights, now 12-2 overall with a March 31 18-3 blowout of Palatka, got an RBI grounder before Higginbotham ended the barrage with a strikeout to Nate Gagnon.

Cameron Faucett got to third base in the fourth, but failed to score for Middleburg.

A single, an error and two wild pitches in the fifth inning scored four more runs in the fifth inning.

In the sixth, singles by Daelen Brown and Hall set up a two run single from Gagnon for the final two runs.

Against Palatka, Keystone Heights had 18 runs on 18 hits with Pierson Lewis, Dalen Brown and Tyler Keaton all getting four hits apiece with Keaton and Gage Hall, with a homer, both hitting for 4 RBIs. Keaton and Brown both hit doubles. Austin Bass got the start on the mound and whiffed five batters with Josh Sheppard finishing the two final innings.

Keystone Heights has an away game at P.K. Yonge set for April 4 with a visit from Forsyth (GA) on April 6.
