Timely Hitting Lifts Southside over Hewitt Trussville

               After jumping out to a 3-0 lead early in the game, Southside surrendered the lead in the bottom of the 6^th, only to recapture it in the 7^th thanks to clutch hitting from the top of the Panthers lineup. Southside got a great start from 2020 RHP Micah Phillips. The lanky righty tossed 6 innings, giving up 3ER on just 4 hits while striking out 3. 2020 RHP Tyler Roberts picked up the save by tossing a scoreless 7^th inning, breaking off some sharp breaking balls that got some chase swing and misses. 2020 IF/RHP Tyler Mauldin (#26, NWFSC signee) got the start on the mound for Hewitt. He threw 5 innings, allowing 6 hits and 3 runs (2ER). The stuff was electric, as he featured good life on the fastball and a big, sharp breaking ball to rack up 10 K’s on the night.

               Southside got the scoring started in the top of the 1^st when 2021 SS Jacob Little (#63) roped a 2-out double over the LF's head. He would come around to score shortly after when 2022 Toren Snow (#54) dropped a single into left. The Panthers would add 2 more runs in the 3^rd. 2021 Aulden Battles led off the inning with a double to RCF, was moved over on a perfect bunt hit from Phillips, then scored on an RBI single from Little. Little would eventually come around to score on a Huskies error.

               Hewitt would answer back with 2 in the 5^th thanks to RBI singles from 2020 Keith Lanum (Bishop St. signee) and 2021 SS Hudson Boren. The Huskies tied the game in the 6^th when 2020 Michael Fowler (#7, LSU signee) came around to score on an RBI groundout from 2020 Kahlin Drake. Southside would regain the lead for good in the top of the 7^th thanks to RBI singles from Phillips and Snow.
