Lincolnview\u2019s Gavin Carter turned in a dominating performance against Crestview on Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The junior pitched a complete game three hitter with eight strikeouts, and he drove in three runs on two hits, including an inside the park home run as the Lancers defeated the Knights 9-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGavin had a great outing for us and he had great command tonight,\u201d Lincolnview head coach Eric Fishpaw.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lincolnview (18-2, 6-0 NWC) broke a 1-1 tie with a six run second inning, all with two outs. Jaden Youtsey doubled in Collin Overholt, then Youtsey scored on an RBI single by Ethan Kemler to give the Lancers a 3-1 lead. A grounder by Brayden Evans plated Creed Jessee, then Carter electrified the crowd with his inside the park homer to right field, scoring Kemler and Evans. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe six run inning was huge,\u201d Fishpaw said. \u201cGavin\u2019s home run helped separate the lead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe sign of a great veteran team is to apply pressure to your opponent and exploit opportunities,\u201d Crestview head coach Jim Wharton said. \u201cLincolnview did just that in the second inning, scoring six runs with two outs. Allowing a pitcher of Gavin\u2019s magnitude to have a sizable lead makes it extremely difficult to overcome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crestview\u2019s Griffin Painter singled and Brant Richardson walked to start the fourth, but the Lancers turned a double play, then Carter induced a ground ball out to end the inning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe play of the game was the 6-4-3 double play that stopped Crestview\u2019s scoring threat,\u201d Fishpaw said. \u201cIt was a big time play by Overholt laying out for the ball.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

The score remained 7-1 until the bottom of the sixth, when Clayton Leeth and Evans scored on a wild pitch. Crestview (8-12, 5-2 NWC) added a run in the top of the seventh, when Logan Gerardot singled in Kaden Short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lincolnview\u2019s first run came in the bottom of the first, when Overholt scored on an RBI single by Jessee. Crestview answered in the top of the second when Kole Small scored on an error. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carter, Youtsey, Kemler and Evans each had two hits for Lincolnview, while Gerardot, Painter and Korbin Hartman accounted for Crestview\u2019s three hits. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Small pitched four innings for the Knights, allowing seven runs on 11 hits while striking out four and walking four. Riley Saylor went two innings and gave up two runs on one hit, fanning two and walking two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crestview’s next scheduled game is against Perry in the Division IV sectional semifinals on Tuesday, May 14. Lincolnview is scheduled to play at Paulding today. Both teams are undefeated in NWC play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPaulding is a good team with good pitching and an outstanding catcher in Hunter Kauser,\u201d Fishpaw said. \u201cWe look forward to the challenge and achieving the goals we set back in early March.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
