Commerce Bank jumped ahead early and stayed ahead during their Gutteridge League matchup Friday night with CCBA at JayCee Ballpark.
Cole Burdette led off the bottom of the first with a double and Ryan Cedeno promptly doubled home Burdette. Cedeno would later score on a wild pitch and Commerce Bank drew interest on its two-run first with four in the second and six in the third leading toward a 12-1 run-rule victory.
It was quite the evening for Cedeno. At the plate, he drove in three runs. On the bases, he advanced on two wild pitches, stole a base and scored two runs. On the mound, he allowed one run on three hits and struck out nine batters over four innings — two in the first, two in the second, three in the third and two in the fourth, bookending the game with strikeouts.
Simon Higginbotham of CCBA led off the third with the first hit against Cedeno and CCBA scored its only run in the fourth. With two outs, Austin Sievert doubled and then Trace Baldwin plated Sievert with a single to right.
Commerce Bank and CCBA both have 2-1 records in Division A of the Gutteridge League.
