Rangers Extend Win Streak to 12 with Sweep of Tigers

SENATOBIA – Northwest combined for 21 runs off 29 hits, including a season-high 21 in the opener, to sweep a doubleheader over Northeast Tuesday night at Jim Miles Field and extend its season-long winning streak to 12 games.

Northwest improved to 25-8 overall and 16-4 in the MACJC. Northeast dropped to 9-23 overall and 5-17 in the league standings.

Dalton Dulin and LeeMarcus Boyd finished the day with five hits apiece in addition to Stephen Sexton with four and three others with three hits. As a team, Northwest hit .433 for the doubleheader (29-for-67) with 18 RBIs.

(Game 1) A 7-run first inning was more than enough for Ranger starter Jonathan Lindsey (2-1) who went five innings and allowed four runs (two earned), six hits and struck out four for the win. Ian Painter tossed the final three innings to earn his third save, tied for the team lead with Koby Busby. 

Northwest sent 11 batters to the plate in the bottom of the first and the first seven reached base safely. The inning was highlighted by Boyd's three-run triple.

The lead grew to 10-0 after four innings as the Rangers added three more runs off a two-run single by Sexton and Jamell Newson RBI-double with two outs. 

Northeast battled back with five runs over the next two innings to pull within 10-5 before Clay Casey's monster, three-run home run to left-center over the scoreboard stretched the lead back out to 13-5 after seven. 

Sacrifice flies by Boyd and James Clark plated two in the eighth to give the Rangers a 15-5 run-rule win.

All nine Rangers had at least one hit in the victory, with Sexton going 4-for-5 with three RBIs. Stuart Chick, Dulin and Casey had three hits apiece and combined for five runs and four RBIs.

(Game 2) J.G. Lipscomb (4-1) and Colin Liles (2) held the Tigers to a combined five hits and just one run over seven, solid frames to lift the Rangers to a 6-1 win and doubleheader sweep.

Dulin's RBI-groundout and Clark's solo blast to left-center gave the Rangers a 2-0 lead after one. 

Northwest scored single runs over the next four frames, aided by four Tiger errors, and held Northeast to a lone run in the fourth off Scott Pala's RBI-single off the glove of Lipscomb.

Boyd finished 3-for-4 in the leadoff spot to extend his reached base streak to 18 games while Dulin was 2-for-3 with an RBI and extended his reached base streak to 19 games. With a stolen base, Dulin also surpassed James Lear with his 36th stolen base of the year, a new Northwest single-season record.

Northwest will return to the diamond on Sunday, April 19 at 2 p.m. against top-ranked Hinds (29-2). The doubleheader has been moved back a day and the location is now Smith-Wills Stadium in Jackson.
