West Rowan  5 Ledford   7

The Thomasville Hi-Toms hosted 3 games on Saturday at Finch Field as part of the Hi-Toms Varsity Classic.  Game 1 featured West Rowan and No. 20 Ledford.  Each team was playing their 3rd game of the week and deep into their pitching staff, but they did a good job of throwing strikes and forcing the offenses to decide the game. A back and forth game, the Panthers trailed 4-3 with 2 outs and no one on in the bottom of the 7th.  A couple of good at-bats later and Miami commit Kelvyn Paulino Jr. came to the plate with the bases loaded.  He then launched an elevated fastball over the right-center wall for the walk-off win.
