Baseball roundup
PARKER CITY - Thanks to Phil Powell, the Patriots are now No. 3.
The Jay County High School junior hit two home runs Tuesday night, leading the Class 4A No. 4 Patriots to a 16-7 victory over host Monroe Central. That brought the team's home run total for the season to 60, moving it to third in Indiana history.
The Patriots (22-2) surpassed Peru and Riverton Parke, which were tied for third with 59 home runs. With two regular-season games - at home Thursday against Bellmont and Friday against New Castle - they stand behind only Brownsburg (66) and Marion (68).
Powell hit his eighth and ninth homers of the year as he finished 3-for-4 and drove in half of the Jay County runs. Thomas McCowan was 2-for-2 with a double and five runs, and Nick Pryor singled, drove in two runs and scored once.
Trey Dunn went the distance for the win, allowing seven runs - five earned - on six hits. He walked four batters and struck out three.
