Tupelo fought the good fight in their extra-innings game against Madison Central on Tuesday but wound up with a less-than-desirable result. They took an 18-14 hit to the loss column at the hands of the Jaguars. One positive for the Golden Wave, at least, is that this was the most points they've scored all season.
Tupelo got a good showing from Tanner Brannigan, who pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit.
At the plate, Tyler Johnson was cooking despite his team's loss, firing off two home runs and four RBI while going 3-for-5. He also scored two runs, which is notable because Tupelo is 4-1 when he posts at least two runs, but 6-7 otherwise. Another player making a difference was Brody Wilson, who scored two runs while getting on base in two of his five plate appearances.
