Selma hitters had a good night at the plate, racking up 12 hits against their opponents. Outfielder Joe Whitmer went 3-for-5 for the evening, slugging two doubles and ending up with two RBIs. Teammate Desmond O’Quine also went 3-for-5 for the game, while manager and designated hitter Merritt Bowden had a record of 2-for-4 for the evening, getting a double and a triple.

But until then, the Selma team will finish their three-game series with the Ozark Patriots. At the close of that series, they travel south to face the Pensacola Pelicans.
