LEES CREEK – Unable to hold a 4-2 lead, the East Clinton baseball team was defeated by Batavia 8-5 in a non-league game at ECHS.

Zach Mitchell collected three hits and drove in two runs as he remained hot at the plate, coach Brian Carey said. He has a double and stole a pair of bases.

Tristan Burkitt went 6.1 innings in relief but was saddled with the loss. “He should of got a win the way he pitched,” Carey said. “Errors behind him and mental mistakes compiled to give Batavia five in the fifth.”

East Clinton is 0-4 on the year.
