The high
school baseball teams started playing their regional
schedule this week with some mixed results for the teams.
McIntosh
beat fourth ranked Newnan Monday 3-1. Bryan Digby pitched
five innings for the Chiefs, allowing one hit, striking
out eight and walking four. The Chiefs got a run early
and went into the final inning leading 1-0. Newnan tied
it and McIntosh got two runs in the bottom of the inning
to secure the win. The Chiefs are currently 6-3-1 and
will play at LaGrange tonight at 6 p.m.
Fayette
County Tigers' 10-game winning streak came to an end as
they lost to the LaGrange Grangers, 6-3. LaGrange held a
6-1 lead going into the seventh inning and it looked as
though Fayette County would come charging back. The
Tigers scored two runs and had the bases loaded, ready to
take the lead, but Lee Roberson struck out and ended the
game. The Tigers hosted Carver-Columbus Wednesday
evening.
Starr's
Mill got hammered by Lovejoy Tuesday 16-1, but the team
did defeat fourth ranked Newnan last Friday. Joe Mahfood
threw a three hitter and drove in four runs as Starr's
Mill won 6-2. Arlando Hinton was responsible for the
Panthers' other two RBI as Starr's Mill scored three runs
in the third and fifth innings.
Sandy Creek
rallied from a four-run deficit to tie Banneker Monday
night, but they couldn't stop nature, as the game, which
was tied 7-7 at the time, was called due to darkness. The
Patriots will play at Jones County Friday at 7 p.m.
