LOCAL ROUNDUP: McKenzie continues RBI streak

STAFF REPORT Commercial-News

MYRTLE BEACH, S.C. —  Danville Area Community College sophomore Tyler McKenzie extended his RBI streak to five games on Tuesday.

McKenzie, a former standout at Bismarck-Henning, went 0-for-2 in the Jaguars 7-2 win over St. Clair Community College of Michigan ending his four-game hitting streak.

But McKenzie’s run-scoring groundout in the sixth gives him 8 RBIs in DACC’s first five games of the season.

Another area standout, Alec Neal from Schlarman, picked up the save on Tuesday with three shutout innings of relief.

Neal, a freshman for DACC, allowed just two hits while walking none and striking out two.

Cam Clark got the victory for the Jaguars, who improve to 4-1 on their season-opening eight-game trip to Myrtle Beach, S.C.

DACC got all the offense it would need with a 5-run fourth. Center field Mike Walker had a key 2-run single in the inning.

Mark Keller and Caleb Etchison each had a pair of hits as the Jaguars finished with nine hits and Pete Strommen had the game’s only extra-base hit with a double in the fourth inning.

DACC is off today, but they will play Lansing Community College of Michigan and Owens Community College of Ohio on Thursday.
