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.
