VENICE — On the strength of a four-run, second inning, Venice got back on track Wednesday with a 6-3 victory against visiting Palmetto.
Despite seeing its modest win streak snapped on Thursday by Cardinal Mooney, the Indians have remained on an upward trajectory overall, picking up their fourth win in five games.
Venice loaded the bases to open the second on a walk, a single and hit batsman. Nick Dunn lofted a sacrifice fly to right, bringing home the game’s first run, then Hunter Possehl and Jon Embury followed with run-scoring singles.
Possehl’s single was an attempted sacrifice bunt in which he beat the throw to first.
After Trent Adrian singled to reload the bases, Possehl scored on a wild pitch for a 4-0 Venice lead.
Though he ran into a little trouble in his final inning, that lead was all Jackson Lucas and a pair of Venice relievers needed.
Lucas went four innings, giving up three runs in the fourth, while striking out five. Carter Cox tossed two scoreless innings of one-hit ball and Simon Yochum slammed the door with a scoreless seventh.
Venice improved to 6-4 on the season and will have some time off before playing host to Riverview in its next game on March 24.
