MOULTRIE — The Colquitt County High baseball team led Valdosta 2-0 after four innings on Wednesday at the Hornet Classic in Adel, but the Packers never made to the seventh inning.

Valdosta scored three runs in the fifth and nine more in the sixth to take a 12-2, six-inning mercy rule victory.

The Packers, who defeated Worth County 17-9 on Monday, now have surrendered 21 runs in their first two games of the season.

Colquitt will return to Adel on Friday for a 7 p.m. meeting with Cook High.

The Packers managed just four hits off Valdosta starter Tuzer Chism and reliever Daniel Fowler, but got single runs in the first and second innings.

Sam Heath opened the bottom of the first with a walk, went to second on Corey Bridwell’s hit-and-run single and advanced to third when Carter Jones drew walk.

Heath scored when Chance Pitts hit into a double play.

Scotty DeMott led off the bottom of the second with a double and after advancing to third on a wild pitch, scored on Drew Shealy’s sacrifice fly.

Pitts had an infield hit in the fourth and a double in the sixth, but those were last two hits Colquitt got.

Chism went the first four innings to get the win, allowing three hits and a walk and striking out three.

Fowler pitched the final two innings.

The Packers loaded the bases in the bottom of the sixth, needing a run to send the game to the seventh inning, but Fowler struck out two of the final three batters to send the teams home early.

Andrew Wallace pitched well the first three innings, but lost his control in the fifth.

Trying to hold on to the 2-0 lead, the junior left-hander gave up a single to Taylor Prain to open the inning, but immediately picked him off.

But Wallace was unable to retire another batter. After Ryan Danbury walked, Briggs Smotherman reached when the Packers infield botched a potential double play ground ball.

Danbury scored Valdosta’s first run on a delayed double steal.

After Daniel Fowler walked, Matt Weaver relieved Wallace and got the second out before surrendering a two-run single to Will Flail.

The Wildcats broke the game open in the top of the sixth, scoring nine runs on just three hits off Weaver, Clay Hartley, Scotty DeMott and Corey Bridwell.

Valdosta took advantage of two more Colquitt County errors, six walks and a hit batsman.

Wallace took the loss after giving up three runs, all of which were unearned. He struck out four and walked five.

The Wildcats scored their 12 runs on just six hits, all singles. Flail had two hits and drove in two runs.

Fowler, Turner, Chism and Prain had the other Valdosta hits.

Valdosta is now 2-0 after also beating Cook 9-3 on Tuesday.

The Wildcats also will return to Adel on Friday to meet Worth County at 4 p.m.

PACKERS NOTES: Former Colquitt County infielder Jake Mobley, a senior shortstop at Georgia Southwestern, hit for the cycle on Tuesday as the Hurricanes defeated Albany State, 20-5, in a non-conference game.

Mobley was 5-for-6 with four runs batted in and three runs scored.
