VIDALIA — After a rough first inning, William Handjis pitched six straight shutout innings and Roper Craft’s two-run home run in the bottom of the fourth inning ignited a late rally as the Vidalia Vikings defeated the Jena Giants 7-4 in LHSAA District 3-3A action.

Jena jumped on Handjis in the top of the first inning with four runs and looked ready to take control of the game. But that would not end up being the case. Handjis settled down and that allowed Vidalia to begin its stunning comeback.

The Vikings scored one run each in the bottom of the first and third innings to make a 4-2 game before Craft’s big home run tied the game at 4-all. They took the lead with two runs in the bottom of the fifth, which included a solo shot by Dillon Gautreau, and added one run in the bottom of the sixth.

Handjis helped his cause by going 2-for-4 with a double and Landon Seyfarth went 2-for-4. Demetrious Howard was the losing pitcher for Jena and he went 2-for-3 with a double.

Vidalia (11-7, 3-3) has a 6 p.m. game Thursday at home against Marksville.
