The Whippets hosted the Mooreville Troopers at home Saturday evening in the second game of the 4A North State Championship series. After a loss last night in Mooreville, it’s all on the line for the home team: Win and force a game three, or lose and call it a done season.
The Troopers got first blood with two runs in the top of the first inning. The Whippets tied it up with two of their own. In the second inning, the Whippets added seven runs, 9-2. They added another run in the third, 10-2. 17-2 after four innings. The Troopers added two but still fell to the mercy rule, 17-4 the final.
Braxton Smith was named the Autumn Ridge Player of the Game. Now, that’s something to smile about!
The final game of the series is scheduled for Monday in Mooreville, weather depending. All Whippets baseball broadcasts are available on Breezy 103, breezynews.com, the Breezy 103 app, and on YouTube on the Boswell Media Sports Breezy 103 channel.
