Baseball: Laye's home run, Yestrumsky's pitching power Panthers to 11-2 win over Maryville

Box Score

MARYVILLE, Tenn. - Chris Laye's home run and Justin Yestrumsky's pitching powered LaGrange to an 11-2 win over Maryville on Sunday at Scotland Yard.

The Panthers (7-14, 5-7 USA South) beat the Scots (9-10, 4-8 USA South) for the second straight day to take the weekend USA South series. It was the second straight conference series the Panthers have won.

The Panthers set a season-high with the 11 runs and had their second most hits with 16. Chris Laye hit the first home run of the season for the Panthers, while Jim Reed had his second four-hit game of the season.

Justin Yestrumsky (2-4) pitched the first complete game of the season for the Panthers. The freshman allowed a run in the first and another in the second, then allowed just one hit over the last seven innings. Yestrumsky gave up just four hits and struck out three.

Trailing 2-1, the Panthers exploded for five runs in the third inning. Alex Murfin, who had three hits and two RBIs, drove in the first run of the inning with a single scoring Keith Sims.

Murfin scored the go-ahead run as Casey Bell reached on an error. Laye followed with his home run, a three-run shot to left center to put the Panthers up 6-2.

The Panthers broke the game open with two runs in the sixth and three more in the seventh. Bell had an RBI single and Laye a sacrifice fly in the sixth. In the seventh, Sims and Murfin had run-scoring base hits.

Kyle Nerbonne also had three hits for the Panthers. 

The Panthers host Centre in a non-conference game Tuesday at 7 p.m.
