On Thursday Andrew Williams made a splash, striking out nine batters over five innings while giving up just two earned runs off five hits. It looks like he has Mooreville's number considering he had a big game the last time he faced them, too. As if that's not impressive enough, the pitching appearance was his seventh in a row with more than six strikeouts. On the season, Williams has been strong no matter where he plays. On the mound, he has an ERA of 2.48 over 53.7 innings pitched. Meanwhile, at bat he has slashed 0.329/0.582/0.524 with 48 runs, plus 49 stolen bases.
Even though Williams couldn't lead Alcorn Central over Mooreville, he won't have to wait long to try again: the teams have a rematch scheduled at 12:00 p.m. on Saturday. Alcorn Central will be headed into this one with a pretty big disadvantage in the rankings (they're ranked 66 places lower in Mississippi), but they're not letting that get them down. Will they be able to pull off an upset behind Williams? Come back here after the game to get an analysis of the match and other baseball content.
