Rowan County’s American Legion baseball team beat Randolph 15-5 on Wednesday in a game at Asheboro’s McCrary Park.
Rowan pounded out 18 hits and made no errors in a game that was ended after seven innings by the mercy rule.
Rowan (3-1) scored four runs in the first and never looked back. Doubles by Michael Caldwell and Chance Bowden in the first got Rowan rolling. Bowden doubled home Harrison Baucom and Caldwell, and Riley Myers singled to drive in Baucom.
Myers is limited to DH duties by an elbow issue, but he went 3-for-3 and drove in three runs as Rowan’s cleanup hitter.
Dustin Ritchie had a two-run single as Rowan’s lead swelled in the fifth.
Bowden and Ritchie went 3-for-4. Michael Pinkston drove in two runs.
Baucom, Rowan’s center fielder, made the defensive play of the game with a diving catch in the sixth.
Ryan Jones started on the mound for Rowan but was knocked out in the second. Winner Brandon White and Cory Fries pitched well in relief.
White pitched 3 1/3 innings and didn’t allow a run. He struck out two.
Rowan returns home tonight to face Eastern Randolph at Newman Park at 7.

Catawba’s Craig Brooks became a unanimous All-American as he was named second team by the American Baseball Coaches Association on Wednesday. Brooks is the first Catawba player to appear on all three All-America teams since both Ryan Query and Craige Lyerly achieved the honor in 2009.
A junior starting pitcher, Brooks had earlier earned second team All-America honors from Daktronics and was a third team selection by the NCBWA. Brooks finished the season with a 12-3 record and a 2.32 ERA.
With only the games remaining at the College World Series, Brooks was still tied for the most wins in Division II. He also ranked 10th with just 5.74 hits allowed per nine innings (57 in 89 1/3 innings) and was sixth in total strikeouts with 104.
