Walley, who had three homers over the series, went deep in both the first and second frames Saturday and had all the RBIs as ABAC leaped out to a 5-0 lead.

Reigh Jordan dominated Blue Mountain Christian Saturday, allowing only one earned run over seven innings.
Reigh Jordan was in complete command during his seven innings pitched, striking out nine while giving up only three hits and a single earned run. Blue Mountain picked up three runs after Jordan exited.
The Stallions treated BMC starter Max Bates rudely from the start. Quinten Rawls and Cameron Campbell began with back-to-back singles before Walley deposited a pitch over the centerfielder’s glove in the deepest part of the ballpark.
Up 3-0, it was immediately almost more. Brayden Fordham doubled off the wall in center. ABAC had two on with one out, but Bates was able to get through without further damage.
The Toppers nearly got through the second inning unscathed but Campbell worked a two-out walk and Walley smashed his second round-tripper, this one over the right field wall.
Jordan sailed through the first three innings with no hits and only one baserunner, but saw the no-hitter bid ended by Jacob Bryant in the fourth. The solo shot cut the Stallions’ lead to 5-1.
Rawls singled to begin the fourth and Walley came close to a third homer, but had to settle for a double high off the left field wall. This time, Bates was able to get through without a run allowed. That wouldn’t be the case in the fifth.
Joe Cooney smashed a double, then scored on an infield chopper by Harrison Childers.
The score stayed 6-1 until the bottom of the seventh, when ABAC pushed across its final run. Fordham singled to lead off, advancing to third on Joe Fisher’s double. Chasin Cash grounded out to second, a slow enough roller for Fordham to score.
Nicholas Milbrandt and Lalan Ellis finished up on the mound for the Stallions. Hayden Redding scored Yaidel Perez in the eighth. Ross Polizzi got the Toppers within striking distance with a three-run homer in the ninth, but Ellis got two strikeouts to close out the game.
Walley drove in five runs on three hits. Fordham also had a three-hit day.
ABAC now 21-9 (11-7 SSAC) will host a three-game series next weekend against Middle Georgia State. There will be a single game Friday and a doubleheader Saturday.
