LANDRUM — A pair of timely hits propelled Lockhart Middle to a 5-5 tie with Landrum on Thursday night.

Landrum held a 3-0 lead through five innings, but Lockhart wouldn’t go away. The Red Devils loaded the bases in the top of the sixth and Dalton Vinson stroked a two-out double to left to drive in three runs to tie the game at 3-3.

Lockhart took a 5-3 lead in the sixth when Ryan Vaughan smacked a 2-RBI single but Landrum answered in the bottom of the inning with two runs of its own. The game was called before the seventh inning due to the two hour time limit resulting in a 5-5 stalemate.

Seth Parker pitched five innings and gave up just two hits for Lockhart.
