PORT LAVACA - LaDarian Stone stroked two home runs and drove in six runs in the Bay City Blackcats 17-0 win of Port Lavaca Calhoun Monday. Stone, who is hitting at a .579 clip during the first six games, also slapped a double in bringing his season RBI total to 12.
“LD (Stone) has a lot of confidence at the plate right now,” said head coach Robert Rayos. “He has had some big hits lately.”
A.J. Flores (3-0) earned the win on the hill in his second start, working two scoreless innings and extending his scoreless innings streak to 12. Austin Smith pitched two innings, striking out four.
Chuck Seals played long ball as well with his first high school homerun. Andrew Pena had three hits and DJ Dominguez had two to go with a pair of RBI.
The Blackcats (4-2) are hitting .394 as a team and play their next contest at 6 p.m. Thursday in Wharton against the Tigers in the 51th Wharton Invitational Tournament. Bay City will play Brazosport at noon Friday and Cypress Springs in a nooner Saturday.
District 23-4A play begins Tuesday, March 9 at Lamar Consolidated.

The Cats banged out 14 hits in the eight-inning affair. Bay City took a 4-3 lead into the seventh until an error put the tying run on base that eventually scored on a wild pitch. The Cats scored three runs in the top of the eighth and Flores sealed the deal in the bottom half to earn his second win. Jacob Lara pitched 4 2/3-innings of relief, allowing only one earned run. Kevin Landgrebe, Seals, Flores and Stone each had a pair of knocks.

In a game that only went three complete innings due to the tournament mercy rule, Bay City recorded 20 hits and senior DJ Dominguez earned his first win on the mound. Dominguez, Landgrebe and Adrian Pena each had three hits. Pena and Stone drove in four RBI a piece.
Kinkaid 6 Bay City 2
Tied at 2-2 in the sixth, Kinkaid burst for four runs in the bottom half of the inning on four hits and shaky defensive play by the Cats. Landgrebe (0-1) took the loss, allowing only three hits and two earned runs in five innings of work. Andrew Pena has a pair of hits, including a double.
Brazoswood 9 Bay City 3
The 5A-power jumped to an early 6-0 lead on starter Daniel Green (0-1) then coasted. The Cats made it respectable in the seventh with three runs on an RBI double by Smith and a run-scoring single by Stone.
