Yazoo County barely beat Winona the last time the pair played, but that sure wasn't the case this time around. Yazoo County never let Winona get on the board and left with a 7-0 victory on Friday. The Panthers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won six contests by seven runs or more this season.
TJ Rials made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, he didn't allow a single earned run and allowed only two hits while striking out six over seven innings pitched. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than two hits in three consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, scoring two runs and stealing three bases while going 2-for-3. He is becoming a predictor of Yazoo County's success: when he posts at least two runs the team is undefeated (and 4-5 when he doesn't).
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Myron Straughter, who scored a run and stole two bases while going 2-for-3. That's the most hits he has posted since back in April of 2024. Another player making a difference was Will Andrews, who got on base in three of his four plate appearances with two runs and one triple.
Yazoo County has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won eight of their last nine matchups. That's provided a massive bump to their 8-5 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 9.7 runs over those games. Winona dropped their record down to 5-8 with the defeat, which was their sixth straight on the road.
Looking ahead, Yazoo County will take on Riverside at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. We've got a battle between Tigers coming up.
