S. Newsome spent all seven innings on the mound, and it's clear why: he surrendered only one earned run on three hits. He has been consistent : he hasn't tossed less than five strikeouts in five consecutive appearances.

On the hitting side, Johnson County's win was truly a team effort as four different players contributed at least one hit. One of them was T. Norris, who went 1-for-3 with one stolen base. Norris has been hot recently, having posted at least one stolen base the last three times he's played.

Johnson County is on a roll lately: they've won four of their last five matches. That's provided a nice bump to their 8-4 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their pitching effort, having only surrendered 0.2 runs on average over those games. Hancock Central is on a 12-game losing streak that has dropped them down to 0-12.

Looking ahead, Johnson County will venture away from home to face off against Glascock County at 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Hancock Central has already played their next game (against Georgia School for Innovation & Classics), but no score has been uploaded at the time of writing.
