Beaufort High’s baseball team hit a bump in the road with an 11-7 loss to Class 5A Summerville last week, but the Eagles are still unblemished in Region 8-3A play after routing rival Battery Creek in a home-and-home series.

Carter Bowersox pitched a three-inning complete game in a 15-0 win Tuesday at Battery Creek and Zack Talbert struck out nine in a four-inning complete game in an 11-1 home win Friday.

Logan Brutcher continued to swing a hot bat for the Eagles, as the Charleston Southern commit went 5-for-8 with three doubles, two RBIs, and five runs in the series, and Chase McKelvey provided a boost with his bat, going 3-for-4 with a homer and scoring four runs.

Beaufort had six players collect multiple hits in Friday’s game, including a 3-for-4 night from Bowersox and a 2-for-2 showing from Dom Camacho, who broke it open with a two-run triple. Hunter Hollingsworth tripled and scored, and Michael Haynes added a double for the Dolphins.

The Eagles (9-3-1, 4-0) play a home-and-home non-region series with Class 5A Fort Dorchester on the road Wednesday and at home Friday. The Dolphins (4-8, 0-2) were scheduled to play a region game at Hanahan on Tuesday with the rematch Friday at Battery Creek.
