WEDNESDAY
High School
Baseball
Howard 5, Mary Persons 4
Justin Smith’s grounder was booted, allowing Collin Blackwell to come in with the eventual winning run with two outs in the sixth. The Huskies won despite a more than 2-1 walk-to-strikeout ratio, but they stranded eight Bulldog runners. Alex Kite and Trippe Moore each had two hits for Mary Persons, while Bradley Smith scored twice for Howard.
Jones County 4, Locust Grove 1
Chandler Wooten and Chase Wright combined for a one-hitter. Dawson Barnes and Seth Daniels had two hits each for the Greyhounds, whose two-run second was enough.
Perry 2, West Laurens 0
Colby McCleese walked, and eventually scored on a wild pitch while Jackson Nipper’s single drove in Andrew Newhouse with another run for Perry, which won the battle of the four-hitters. That’s because Jayden Chance struck out 13 with two walks on 94 pitches in the complete-game win. Wade Gordon and Nipper split the Panthers’ hits, and Tyler Franks had half of the Raiders’ hits.
Upson-Lee 10, Spalding 0
The Knights put it away with six in the seventh, Spalding helping the visitors with four errors. Turner Maddox and Alex Blount had two hits for Upson-Lee, and Logan Spivey had three RBI.
