Choudrant 13 Quitman 2 (Monday): One of the hardest thing to do in sports is beat a team three times in a row. Especially when the one you are trying to complete the tri-fecta against the defending state champion and current #1 ranked team in Division I among “non-select” schools. By pounding out 14 hits and scoring six runs in the top of the third and adding five more over the next two innings, Choudrant made sure that they would salvage a game out of the three game set. Conversely QHS managed just four hits, including a Cam Deal double off winning pitcher Eddie Callendar. Deal and Ponder both stole two bases for the Wolverines.

TEAM	1	2	3	4	5	R	H	E
Choudrant (14-4)	2	0	6	2	3	13	14	0
Quitman (4-10)	1	0	1	0	0	2	4	0

Simsboro 12 JHHS 2 (Monday) The Tigers lost their third straight after winning two of the previous three to fall to 2-8 on the year. Simsboro continues their three year resurgence improving to 10-5 just two seasons removed from not winning a game all year and barely breaking .500 last year. No game stats were reported.
