Canyon hitters pound out 18 hits in shortened game
PHOENIX- Rick Kerns (Peoria/Cactus HS) went 2 for 4 and drove in five runs on two homers, as Grand Canyon cruised to a 17-3 victory over Northern Iowa in the Rawlings Spring Training Tournament at Brazell Stadium on Friday.
The game was called after seven innings due to the new NCAA 12-run rule, which states that a game may be stopped only after the seventh if one team is leading by at least 12 runs and there has been mutual consent by the participating teams prior to the contest.
With the scored tied at 2-2 in the fourth, the Antelopes (10-3) sent 13 men to the plate and scored eight runs, the big blow coming on Kerns's grand slam. Kerns hit his first homer of the season, in the second, following Ronnie Holtorf's (Phoenix/Moon Valley HS) solo home run. It was Holtorf's team-leading fourth homer of the season and second in as many games.
Canyon added seven runs, all unearned, in the sixth to help bring about the premature end to the game. Northern Iowa (0-2) could only manage one more run in the seventh.
Canyon starter Rob Price (Glendale/Deer Valley HS) improved to 4-0 on the season, while the Panthers' Scott Brickman (0-1) lost.
Due to the rain outs of some games on Friday, Saturday's tournament schedule at Brazell Stadium has been altered. The revised schedule for games at Phoenix Municipal Stadium on Saturday was not available.
