BRANDON — The Otter Valley Union High School baseball team snapped a 4-4 tie with a four-run sixth inning on Monday to defeat visiting Leland & Grey. OV evened its record at 1-1 with the victory, while the Rebels dropped what was their opener.

Doubles by Wyatt Cone and Jackson Howe, an error on a ball hit by Jason Warrell, an Isaiah Wood single, and an outfield misplay on a ball hit by Brayden Chandler plated the decisive runs in the sixth.

L&G had tied the game with two runs in the top of the inning off Wood, who got the win in relief of Howe, the starting pitcher. Howe went five innings, allowing two runs, one earned, on one hit and five walks, while striking out 10.

OV scored its earlier runs on a Howe RBI single in the first inning, and Howe and Chandler poked RBI hits in a three-run third inning.  

OV is scheduled to visit Springfield on Saturday.
