WEST PORTSMOUTH — A four-run sixth inning helped push the Minford Falcons past Portsmouth West 6-2 in Southern Ohio Conference Division II play on Wednesday.
The Falcons (13-5, 12-3 SOC II) entered the top of the sixth trailing 2-1, but their five runs scored in their final two trips to the plate made the difference.
Junior Aodhan Queen delivered a pair of RBI for the Falcons, while senior Jacob Lewis drove in one Minford run and scored himself in a pinch-hit appearance.
Junior Noah Martin earned the win on the hill for Minford, allowing no hits and issuing no walks over the final three innings in a relief appearance.
