Logan Riddell, Jones County Junior College’s No. 3 starter, went eight innings and allowed just one earned run as the Bobcats won an elimination game against Holmes CC 11-5 late Friday night in the NJCAA Division II Region 23 Tournament. Riddell improved to 10-4. The No. 12 Bobcats will have to beat No. 2 LSU-Eunice twice today in Goodman to advance to the Juco World Series. Earlier Friday, JCJC’s No. 2 starter, Vito Perna, won his 10th game with a 5-0 shutout of Northwest in another elimination game. The depth of the Bobcats’ staff will be tested today; perhaps ace Andrew Pierce, who pitched Thursday, can can work again on short rest.
P.S. Props to Alcorn State, which blew through its half of the SWAC Tournament and will meet Southern University on Sunday in a one-game championship. ESPNU will show the game from Shreveport on Monday at 7 p.m. It’s worth a look. The Braves have some players.
