EL RENO, Oklahoma -- NOC Tonkawa pounded Redlands pitching for 38 runs on 27 hits in a 20-6 and 18-7 doubleheader romp on Saturday in El Reno.

In Game 1, the Mavs hit six home runs with Landen Johnson hammering two with Elijah Laus, Ethan Rossi, Ethan Starks, and Luke Shannahan hitting bombs as well.

Johnson had four runs batted in while Rossi added three.  Larry Edwards, Jr. had a double, triple, two stolen bases, and three runs scored.

Logan Tayor and Brenden Kamnick allowed three earned runs on eight hits while striking out seven total.

In Game 2, it was more of the same as the Mavs bludgeoned the Cougars 18-6.

Rossi hit the only home run but the Mavs had eight other extra base hits including two doubles by Shannahan.

Rossi had four runs batted in while Taylor, Blade Carver, Johnson, and Shannahan had two runs batted in.

More than enough support for Brendon Carter, Liam McKinney, and Cale Schroeder who worked for the Mavs striking out a combined nine Cougar hitters.
