Tunstall's Third Inning Lifts Trojans Past Dan River
Tunstall pushed across five runs in the fourth and held off Dan River 9-2 in a Piedmont District game. Jeff Dunaway went the distance for the Trojans, scattering eight hits while fanning five and walking five to improve to 5-2 on the season. Wayne Puckett earned the win for Dan River with a tough-luck performance as Tunstall benefited from a big third inning highlighted by David Scarce’s two-RBI single and Huffman’s RBI after a bases-loaded walk-burnished frame.
