Trio Leads Carthage to 12-1 Rout of Kilgore At Rose City Classic

TYLER -- Jack Morris, Tyler Musgrove and Beaux Guilbeau all had three RBIs to lead Carthage past Kilgore, 12-1 in five innings, Thursday during the Rose City Classic at Mike Carter Field.

William Rittenberry allowed just a run on three hits in five innings to earn the win on the mound for Carthage (2-0). He struck out five and walked one.

Morris singled home a pair of runs in Carthage's five-run second inning and was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded in the fifth.

Musgrove came through with a two-run single in the first and doubled home another in the second. A three-run double by Guilbeau, who also tripled and scored a run, in the fifth put the 10-run mercy rule into effect.

Kilgore pitching struggled all game long with control. Starting pitcher Q. Brewster walked five, hit two batters and was charged with three wild pitches in his 3 1/3 innings of work. In all, Carthage drew seven walks and four hit batsmen.

Following's Musgrove's two-run single in the first, Carthage built a 7-1 lead with five runs in the second. Morris' two-RBI single and Musgrove's run-scoring double highlighted the big inning, which also featured an RBI single by Kolby Blissett.

Guilbeau scored on a wild pitch after his triple in the fourth, setting the stage for Carthage's game-sealing four-run fifth.

Carthage continues play at the Rose City Classic at 2:30 p.m. Friday against Forney.
