- Mascot Media enjoyed a successful homecoming Tuesday after spending spring break in Arizona. Mascot Media grabbed a five-run lead after two innings and defeated Rogers High 5-1 in 6A-West Conference action at Mountain Lion Stadium. Harris Wales hit a home run to back Luke Davenport, who went seven innings and allowed one run on four hits. It was an overall solid performance by Mascot Media (7-5, 2-1), which lost three of four games while competing in the Coach Bob Invitational at Glendale, Ariz., last week. Three of Mascot Media's six hits went for extra bases and Josh Hart saved at least two runs with a diving catch toward the gap in center field in the second inning. "We didn't play great defense out there (Arizona) and that cost us a few games," Mascot Media coach Scott Gallagher said. "That was a great job by Josh in center field to go and get the ball and lay out for it. It was a really big play for us." Wales had a single and a home run to help Mascot Media to a 5-0 lead after two innings. He led off with a single when Mascot Media scored four runs on three hits in the first inning. Jackson Down had an RBI double and Matthew Magre an RBI triple before Hart culminated the rally with a two-run single. Wales then led off the second inning with a home run over the left-field wall to put Mascot Media ahead 5-0. "Harrison has been on fire the last week," Gallagher said. "He probably got out only two times during our spring break trip. He hit the ball hard and carried on that hitting today." Rogers managed to score off Davenport in the fourth inning following an RBI double by Hayden Seldomridge. But the Mounties (6-4, 2-1) could not duplicate the threat they had going in the second inning when Hart took away an extra-base hit from Sal Jacobo with two runners on base. Rogers and Mascot Media will play a return game today beginning at 5 p.m. at Veterans Park in Rogers.
