In a dramatic Game 2 of the Class 2A playoffs, the Baldwyn Bearcats (15-13-1) avenged last season's loss to the Myrtle Hawks (19-8) by overcoming a five-run deficit to win 11-10. The Bearcats found themselves trailing 9-4 entering the fifth inning but rallied with a series of hits and strategic plays, including a sacrifice fly from Rush Watkins and singles from Gavin Gamble, Carson Richardson, and Carter Craven. Baldwyn's resilience paid off as they tied the game and eventually took the lead with a sacrifice fly by Maddox McCarley in the sixth. The game went into extra innings, where seventh grader Gavin Copeland drew a walk with the bases loaded to secure the victory. Ridge Mask was instrumental on the mound, pitching the final six innings and allowing just one run on four hits. Coach Shannon Smith praised his team's grit, while Myrtle coach Brandon Montgomery noted that their inability to throw strikes led to their downfall. Baldwyn will now face East Webster in the second round of the playoffs.
