Top honors in the league this week go to Richland, which finished with five wins overall, good for best in the league. The Rangers beat Port Gibson 19-0, the Blue Waves 14-2, Port Gibson 17-2 and Morton 3-1.

Richland trails Mendenhall by just game in 4A Region 6 standings, which means there could be a new first-place team by next week.

The Tigers' pitching staff had a strong showing this week, allowing only five hits and six walks, both of which led the league.

There were 15 hitters that batted over .400 in the league this week. The group was paced by Jeremy Moore, who collected seven hits in ten at bats for a .700 average.

The week's strikeout crown belonged to Conner Mcgraw, who turned in seven Ks for Germantown. He's fifth in the league with nine total strikeouts.



Magee's Nick Luckey struck out nine Raymond hitters en route to a 13-1 victory on March 4. Over four innings of work, he gave up one hit and one run.

Silento Sayles was an RBI machine on Saturday, as he knocked in six runs during the Blue Waves' 15-5 win over Jim Hill. He went 2-for-4 and scored three runs.
