Port Allen took care of business in their home opener on Tuesday (and then some). They put the hurt on the False River Gators with a sharp 13-1 win. This was payback for the Pelicans, who suffered a 5-3 loss the last time these two teams met.
James Fontenot and Carson Chapman made a splash while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Fontenot tossed two innings while giving up no earned runs or hits. Meanwhile, Chapman pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. At bat, Fontenot scored two runs while getting on base in two of his three plate appearances, while Chapman went 1-for-3 with four RBI, one run, and one double.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Hunter Bodin, who scored three runs and stole two bases while going 3-for-3. Another player making a difference was Branagan Ponthieux, who went 3-for-4 with two RBI.
Both teams are looking forward to the support of their home crowds in their upcoming games. Port Allen will take on East St. John in a tournament on February 13th. False River has already played their next match (against Livonia), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
