Tell City High School's baseball team rolled past Wood Memorial 13-2 in six innings on March 30, with an 11-run advantage bringing the game to an early close under the mercy rule.

The Marksmen built a lead that Wood Memorial's Trojans could never answer, finishing the afternoon with a dominant run differential that cut the contest short by a full inning. A margin of that size before the final out signals an offense operating well beyond what Wood Memorial's pitching staff could contain.

The six-inning finish is notable on its own: Indiana high school baseball's mercy rule requires a significant run gap before a game can be called, and Tell City reached that threshold with room to spare. Scoring 13 runs against a varsity opponent at any point in the early spring schedule reflects a lineup finding its rhythm quickly as the season gets underway.

The win adds a clean result to Tell City's schedule at a point in the season when teams are still working through early-season competition before conference play tightens the standings. The Marksmen's Athletics account confirmed the result, and the program heads into its next scheduled matchup with momentum from one of the more lopsided outcomes in the region on March 30.
