Christopher Lowe made a big impact while hitting and pitching. He looked comfortable on the mound, striking out eight batters over three innings while giving up no earned runs or hits (and not a single walk). Lowe was also big at the plate, going a perfect 2-for-2 with three RBI.
In other batting news, the team relied heavily on Percy Jefferson, who scored three runs and stole three bases while going 2-for-2. Xaylen Henderson was another key player, scoring two runs and stealing a base while going 1-for-3.
Humphreys County has been performing incredibly well recently as they've won ten of their last 11 games. That's provided a nice bump to their 11-5 record this season. Those wins came thanks in part to their hitting performance across that stretch, as they averaged 15.1 runs over those games. Yazoo County now has a winning record of 8-7.
Everything went Yazoo County's way against Humphreys County in their previous meeting back in April of 2024, as Yazoo County made off with a 15-0 victory. Will Yazoo County repeat their success, or does Humphreys County has a new game plan this time around? We'll find out soon enough.
