Gallia Academy junior Zane Loveday allowed three hits and two walks over seven scoreless innings Tuesday night during a 5-0 victory over visiting Point Pleasant at Bob Eastman Field. The Blue Devils (6-7) picked up their fifth straight win as Loveday — a southpaw — struck out a dozen while leaving three of the five PPHS baserunners stranded in scoring position. GAHS took a 1-0 lead with nobody out in the fourth as Colton Roe was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded, allowing Cole Hines to score the eventual game-winner. Grant Bryan singled home Dakota Young for a 2-run edge, then Maddux Camden singled in both Trent Johnson and Roe while doubling the cushion out to 4-0. Loveday added a sacrifice fly to bring Bryan home for a 5-run lead after four complete. The Big Blacks (2-2) — who had only one runner make it as far as third base — managed only two baserunners in the final three frames of regulation. Gallia Academy outhit the guests by an 11-3 overall margin, with Point commiting the only error in the game. Hines led the hosts with three hits, followed by Camden, Loveday and Johnson with two safeties apiece. Hunter Lilly, Tanner Mitchell and Hunter Bush had a hit apiece in the setback.
