No. 3 Pearl River earns dominant sweep of No. 20 Co-Lin

POPLARVILLE, Miss. — The No. 3 Pearl River baseball team looked like a different team Tuesday, sweeping No. 20 Copiah-Lincoln at Dub Herring Park.

PRCC won Game 1 12-1 in five innings and then took the nightcap 11-2.

“We’re very proud of them. This team generally bounces back and that’s all you can ask of them, to keep learning,” Pearl River coach Michael Avalon said. “After the first inning of Game 1 we got it out of our system and were really good. We were as sharp as I’ve seen.”

The sweep gives PRCC nine straight wins over Co-Lin.

GAME 1 The Wolves (12-10 overall; 8-4 MACCC) opened the scoring in the first and were threatening to hang a crooked number on PRCC (17-5; 7-3) with a runner on third but the Wildcats’ Taylor Woodcock (Pass Christian; West Harrison) and Dalton Cummins (Seminary) teamed up for a 4-6-3 double play to squash the threat.
