 Rebels drop game to Tigers Monday night web posted March 19, 2008 JOHNSTON – Swansea High's Tigers ended a six-game losing streak with an 8-4 baseball win at Strom Thurmond Monday evening. Rebel starter Josh Wilson and reliever Mike McCary combined to strike out 14 hitters, but two big innings were enough for the Tigers to come away with a victory. The scoring opened when Swansea's Michael McElveen led off the second with his third homer of the season. McElveen would lead the Tigers by going 3-3 with three runs scored and two driven in. The Rebels tied the game in the bottom of the inning without the benefit of a hit. Kenny Meadows walked the bases loaded before getting Andrew Friar to hit into a force out at home. Porter Coleman brought in the run with a ground out to second. Swansea took the lead for good with three runs in the top of the third. A run came in following a throwing error on Johnathan Betancourt's infield hit to third. Another scored on an error in left after McElveen's single, and Blake Williams doubled in the final run of the inning. Swansea stretched the lead to 6-1 with a three-run fifth. A sacrifice fly followed three walks and another run came in on the second balk of the inning. Following an RBI single by Brandan Meadows, McCary struck out two hitters to end the rally. The Rebels took advantage of Swansea miscues to score a pair of runs in the bottom of the fifth. Dillon Durham brought in a run with a single while the other scored after an error on McCary's single to left. Swansea scored an additional run in the seventh. The Rebels scored a run and tried to rally again in the bottom of the inning, but Durham was thrown out trying to score on Jeremy Dix's double to left center for the final out of the game.
