You could call it a  “blue” Monday for all three Jackson Parish high school baseball teams and it doesn’t refer to blue skies but rather the way JHHS, Quitman and Weston felt after their games. For JHHS and Quitman, Tuesday wasn’t any better but Weston managed to salvage one of the six games played over the two days by beating  Alexandria Senior High School in their second game in two days against teams from district 2-5A. 

The tough two days did a number on the rankings for all three schools as Weston and Quitman fell to #5 and #6 respectively in Division V while JHHS dropped all the way to #35 in Division IV. 

Calvin 18 JHHS 8 (Monday) – Six runs in the top of the fourth inning gave JHHS a 7-3 lead but Calvin plated 8 in the bottom of the frame and added 7 more over the next two innings to win by the “10 run” rule. The Tigers outhit Calvin 9-8, and had three extra base hits to just one for the Cougars but six errors, two hit batters and 16 walks were to much to overcome.   

Logan Smith blasted the first home run of the year for the Tigers and Waylon Evans and Marquis Baker both dropped in doubles as part of the nine hits JHHS got. Dakota Knox and Trey Trosclair both got a pair of hits while Duke Tew got a hit, drove two in and scored a run.

Castor 7 JHHS 4 (Tuesday): After spotting Castor to a 2-0 lead, JHHS plated four in the top of the second to take a 4-2 advantage but once again the Tigers fell late. Pierce Ulloa got the scoring started for the Tigers by hitting a single followed by both Landson Boston and Dakota Knox getting hit by a pitch. John Self then hit a single to drive in a run before Waylon Evans became the third batter in the inning to get plunked. Trey Trosclair then singled to drive in two more. Marquis Baker hit a double for the second game in a row.

Minden 5 Quitman 4 (Monday): A seventh inning rally came up short as after scoring twice to pull within one run the Wolverines left the two on.

Braden Hobbs got two hits and Ian Tilley got three as both hit doubles for the Wolverines.

Airline 3 Quitman 0: The Wolverines managed just four singles against Airline pitching, as Quitman failed to score for the first time this season.

Maddox Duck hit the final single and Cail King drew a walk to round out the QHS baserunners.
