Northeast Vernon County Knights freshman pitcher Blane Jones fires a pitch into sophomore catcher Logan Conner, during Wednesday's road-contest against the Sheldon Panthers. NEVC stormed out of the gate, plating nine runs in the top of the first off of Panthers freshman pitcher Brett O' Connor. Sheldon responded in the bottom half of the inning, as Jade Huggins smacked a 3-run home run. After increasing its lead to 11-3, Jones stepped to the plate in the top of third inning, helping his own cause by launching a home run well over the center field fence, giving the Knights a 12-3 cushion. Sheldon's Kaleb Martin led off the bottom of the third with a double, and later came around to score when Huggins singled to left field, as Sheldon trailed 12-4. NEVC eventually pulled away for the 17-6, five-inning victory, improving to 2-0 overall. The Knights opened the season with an 18-1 home-victory over the Hume Hornets, as NEVC pitcher Jackson Coleman tossed five innings of one-hit ball.(Photo by Matthew Resnick/Daily Mail)
