From staff reports
South Rowan’s American Legion baseball team won 10-0 in seven innings at Wilkes County on Thursday.
Will Misenheimer pitched six shutout innings, allowing four hits and striking out four. Randy Shepherd threw the seventh, the first inning he’s pitched this summer.
Ryan Bostian had a run-scoring double in the first inning to get South (7-2, 5-2) started. Dylan Walker’s two-out, two-run single keyed a three-run fourth inning.
Matt Ingold had two hits and two RBIs.
Due to off-days, rainouts and a two-game losing streak, it was South’s first victory since June 1.
“On the way up to Wilkes it started to rain a little bit, and I was thinking, ‘Here we go again,’ ” South coach Michael Lowman said. “Fortunately, conditions were perfect once we got there. It felt good to get back on the field. Will pitched good again and we found a way to score some runs.”
South is at home tonight against Concord.
