Logan Hill homered twice and drove in five runs and Casey Hughston narrowly missed hitting for the cycle as the West Virginia Power took a 13-2 win over the Lexington Legends Tuesday night at Whitaker Bank Ballpark.

Hughston led off the game with a home run. Singles by Mitchell Tolman and Carlos Munoz and a double by Jordan George produced a second run.

The Legends scored in the bottom of the second on a double by Xavier Fernandez and a single by Ben Johnson, but the Power came back with two more runs in the third. They added one in the fifth on a single by Hughston and a double by Carlos Munoz for a 5-1 lead.

After the Legends scored a run in the bottom of the fifth on back-to-back doubles by Roman Collins and Chase Vallot, West Virginia broke the game open with five runs in the sixth. All five scored after two outs. Tyler Filliben doubled home Logan Ratledge, who had walked with one out. Hughston’s double scored Filliben, and Hughston scored on Tolman’s single, his third of four hits for the game. Hill followed with a two-run homer, and the Power led 10-2.

Hill’s three-run homer in the eighth closed out the scoring. Hughston, needing a triple for the cycle, walked in the eighth and lined a double to right field in the ninth.

The loss extended the Legends’ losing streak to eight games.

Wednesday afternoon’s game between the Lexington Legends and the West Virginia Power at Whitaker Bank Ballpark was postponed due to incoming inclement weather and field conditions.

The game will be made up as part of a doubleheader Thursday night. The first of two seven-inning games will begin at 5:35 p.m. Thursday.
