The Belfry Pirates made it a sweep in their border war with the Logan High School baseball team after winning 2-1 over the Wildcats on Tuesday night at Logan’s Roger Gertz Field.

Belfry’s Jeremy Maynard ripped a solo homer in the top of the sixth to break a tie as the Pirates improved to 11-5 on the season. Belfry had beaten Logan, 8-2, earlier in the season at home.

Belfry pitchers Brandon Chapman and Zack Francis combined to hold the Wildcats (7-8) to five hits. David Brown was the starting pitcher for Logan. He had a six-hitter with eight strikeouts and one walk.

Corey Lakatos was 2-for-2 at the plate with two doubles for the Wildcats. Todd Fleming also doubled and Shaun Wagner added a single. Clint Hale doubled off the fence in the seventh to give Logan a shot at tying the game. However, his pinch-runner was stranded at third as the Pirates held on to get the win.

Logan is scheduled to return to action Friday with its annual McDonald’s Classic. The Wildcats play Matewan at 5 p.m. and Greenbrier East at 8.

The Wildcats are then slated to play East again on Saturday at 1 p.m.
