Eastside was sadly handed a loss on Friday, but Tripp Swords did his best to prevent it. Swords tossed five innings while giving up three earned runs off six hits. The effort also marked the fewest walks (two) he has had since back in March.

The Eagles will be headed into this one with a sizable disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 234 places lower in Georgia), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Swords? Check MaxPreps after the action for a full breakdown of the game and more baseball content.
