PORT NECHES — Rain wasn’t enough to keep Port Neches-Groves or Beaumont Central in the dugouts.

Hayden Guerra doubled and tripled, and PNG lined 10 hits Tuesday night in a 13-3, six-inning win, improving to 11-0 in District 22-5A.

Austin Bost also had a double and triple, and drove in two runs. Nathan Vidrine scored three times and batted in three more, while Jacob Vaughan, Logan LeJeune (two runs), Josh Hranicky (one run) and Alec LeBouef (one run) each added a hit.

Vaughn and LeJeune each tripled. Hranicky, Vidrine and Zack Deckert doubled.

Three PNG pitchers combined for the three-hit gem. Brandon Petix struck out six and allowed two hits in three innings, Dylan McGough fanned four in two innings, and Vidrine struck out the side in the sixth.

Central suffered a second defeat on the day, after the District 22-5A executive committee forced the Jaguars to forfeit a March 28 win at Port Arthur Memorial.

PNG (19-5-2) and Central will square off Friday.

Memorial will host Vidor at 6 tonight, and Nederland will visit Livingston for a 6:30 game tonight in rescheduled games from Tuesday due to the rain.
