Brice Adkins provided three hits and Jeffrey Smyth delivered a pair of doubles to push Beaufort High past Battery Creek 6-0 in an early-season high school baseball game on Thursday. Beaufort High pitcher Drew Luckey earned the win. Luckey recorded seven strikeouts and limited rival Battery Creek to four hits.

Battery Creek wasn't without its offensive highlights in the early-season matchup. But the Dolphins stranded runners on base throughout the contest. Leading Battery Creek at the plate, Dallas Highuet and Amani Gibbs were each 2-for-3.
