Wayne County 9, Perry 2; Wayne County 12, Perry 2
A seven-run fourth put Wayne County in control in the first game, Perry managing only three hits. Wayne County needed only five hits, thanks to eight walks, three wild pitches, and two hit batters. The hosts took early control of the nightcap with four runs in the first two innings, on just one hit, thanks to eight early walks, a wild pitch, and hit batter, plus an error. They blew it open with six in the fourth, aided by three walks and two errors. Perry ends the season 27-8.
Whitewater 17, West Laurens 10
Told once and for all that Game 2 would not be resumed – up 7-6 amid a five-run sixth inning when weather stopped the game Saturday and umpires ruled it an official game, reverting to the previous full inning, a 6-2 Whitewater lead – West Laurens (29-5) got into an early hole, mounted a comeback, and watched Whitewater put it away late.
Whitewater led 5-0 after four, and got five in the top of the fifth only for the Raiders to put up eight runs in the bottom half and pull within two while getting into Whitewater’s bullpen. Jayden Todd belted a grand slam and Kaden Baggett added a two-run single for the Raiders. But the Wildcats regained control with four in the top of the sixth, getting going with a leadoff homer. West Laurens got one back in the bottom half, but Whitewater sealed it with three in the top of the seventh. Baggett had two of the Raiders’ five hits. Six Raider pitchers struck out 11 with eight walks, while four Wildcat pitchers fanned eight and walked nine.
