Kevin Hamann struck out seven and gave up just two hits as Summit shut out host Mountain View 10-0 in five innings Friday in both teams’ Class 5A Intermountain Conference baseball opener.

“This is his year,” Storm coach C.J. Colt said about his senior pitcher. “It’s exciting to see him command the ball.”

With Hamann in control on the mound, Summit’s offense more than did its part, recording 18 hits to help the Storm improve to 5-0 overall. Brennan Rooks went four for four with a double, a triple and three runs scored to lead Summit at the plate. Konner Reddick ended the day three for four with a double, two runs batted in and two runs scored. Kruze Mingus added a three-for-three effort with a run scored and a run batted in.

The Cougars (1-2 overall, 0-1 5A IMC) retired Summit’s first three batters in the top of the first, but the Storm broke the game open in their next at-bat. Summit scored five runs in the second inning, which was highlighted by a two-out, two-run single by Reddick.

“That second inning we got up bound and determined,” Colt said. “The bats were hot from that point on.”

Starting pitcher Brock Powell took the loss for Mountain View. The sophomore pitcher threw 3 2⁄3 innings before freshman J.T. Ayers took the mound in relief.

Next up for Summit is a home nonleague doubleheader against Class 6A South Medford on Tuesday. If the Storm’s home field is too wet, Colt said Summit could play South Medford at Vince Genna Stadium.

Mountain View is also off until next week, when the Cougars travel to play a doubleheader at Eagle Point on Wednesday.
