SEVEN SPRINGS -- Sawyer Smith invoked the mercy rule with a fifth-inning double and Spring Creek defeated Wayne, 11-1, on the Eastern Carolina Baseball League scene.

Chad Spurgeon led the Gators with two hits and an RBI. Allen Coor contributed a double. Spring Creek collected six hits as a team for the game.

Logan Miller emerged the winning pitcher. He permitted an unearned run on two hits and struck out seven in a complete-game effort.

Weather permitting, Spring Creek (5-8 overall) plays host to East Duplin today.
