Mason McNew throws complete game in South Ripley’s ORVC win over Switz Co.

Behind the complete game effort of starting pitcher Mason McNew, the visiting South Ripley varsity baseball picked up a 5-3 ORVC conference win over the Switzerland County Pacers.

McNew went all seven innings, including working out of a jam in the 7th when the Pacers tried to rally. The freshman pitched like a veteran, scattering 5 hits, walking 3, allowing 3 runs, and striking out 7 to earn his 2nd victory of the year.

On offense for the Raiders, junior Landon Adams enjoyed a big day, going 2 for 2 with three stolen bases, a run scored, and an RBI. Also picking up key RBI were Brayden Dilk, Trent Smith, McNew, and Ryan Gorrell.
