Northeast Jones had already proven themselves in the regular season and they didn't miss a beat now that it's playoff time. They were the clear victors by a 9-1 margin over the Forrest County Agricultural Aggies on Saturday. The Tigers might be getting used to big wins seeing as the team has won 15 matches by seven runs or more this season.

Ryne Herrington was a major factor no matter where he played. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out nine batters over seven innings while giving up just one earned run off four hits. He has been nothing but reliable: he hasn't given up more than one earned run in five consecutive appearances. He was also stellar in the batter's box, getting on base in three of his four plate appearances with one home run and two RBI.

In other batting news, Northeast Jones let Cruz Sullins and Kaden Padgett run wild. Sullins went 2-for-4 with two RBI and one run, while Padgett went 2-for-4 with two runs and one stolen base. Another player making a difference was Carter Wiginton, who got on base in two of his four plate appearances with two runs and one stolen base.

Northeast Jones has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won 11 of their last 12 contests. That's provided a nice bump to their 20-7-1 record this season. Those victories came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 10.2 runs over those games. As for Forrest County Agricultural, they moved to 15-12 with that loss, which also ended their four-game winning streak.

As of now, neither Northeast Jones nor the Aggies have any future games scheduled.
