Aidan Zimmerman earned a complete-game victory Friday night in the NE8 as the Bellmont Braves beat DeKalb 4-3 to move to fourth place in the conference.
After a bit of early trouble, the Braves trailed 3-0, but scored three times in the bottom of the fourth inning. That set up senior Keagan Martin to be the hero with the bat and he hit a home run toward Monroe Street and over the left field fence for the eventual winning run.
Zimmerman allowed just five hits and two of his three runs allowed were unearned. He walked just one and struck out 11.
Most importantly, Zimmerman set down six in a row to finish off the game after Martin’s home run.
The Braves got two hits from Layne LeMaster and a big, two-RBI single by Andrew James in the fourth inning.
Bellmont is set to play Northrop at home Saturday.
