Arendt & Willadsen Big as Holly Springs Forces Game 3 with Corinth Holders
May 24, 2019
Corinth Holders – 3 Holly Springs -- 5
Holly Springs hosted Corinth Holders in game 2 of the 4A East Regional Final. Facing elimination, the home team started 2019 NC State commit Matt Willadsen on the mound. Corinth Holders looked to advance to the Championship Series, where West Region winner Mooresville HS is waiting.
Tanner Smith led off the game with a single to CF to start the game. Ty Cummings reached when Willadsen mishandled a bunt attempt, putting runners on 1st and 2nd with no outs. Each runner advanced on a ground ball where Willadsen balked in the 1st run for Corinth Holders. After recording a big strikeout, back to back defensive miscues allowed the Pirates to tack on 2 more, extending their 1st inning lead to 3-0.
