Baseball Recap: Baldwyn Comes Up Short

Baldwyn extended their losing streak to three on Tuesday, dropping them down to 9-11-1. They lost 14-2 to the Nettleton Tigers. If the Bearcats were looking for revenge after losing 10-3 to the Tigers when the teams met back in April of 2025, then they'll just have to keep looking.

Baldwyn saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Brayer Wesson, who went 2-for-3 with one run.

As for Nettleton, their victory was their fifth straight on the road, which pushed their record up to 16-5. The result was nothing new for the Tigers, who have now won 11 games by ten runs or more so far this season.

On Nettleton's side, Ace Carroll and Owen Roebuck made a big impact while hitting and pitching. On the mound, Carroll pitched two innings while giving up no earned runs off one hit. Meanwhile, Roebuck struck out eight batters over five innings while giving up just one earned run off two hits. That's the most strikeouts he has posted since back in February. At the plate, Carroll got on base in three of his five plate appearances with one home run, while Roebuck went 3-for-5 with three RBI, two runs, and one stolen base. That home run marked the first that Carroll has launched this season.

In other batting news, the team relied heavily on JR Williams, who fired off two home runs, three runs, and three RBI while getting on base in four of his five plate appearances. Those two home runs gave him a new career-high. The team also got some help courtesy of Spencer Holland, who got on base in four of his five plate appearances with three runs and one stolen base.

Looking ahead, Baldwyn will be playing in front of their home fans against Tishomingo County at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. As for Nettleton, they will head out on the road to take on Columbus at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday. The Falcons have struggled to contain batters this season (they've allowed 13.63 runs per game on average), something the Tigers will no doubt try to take advantage of.
