Springfield 5, Portland 4 in nine innings.

Portland scores a run in the top of the ninth. Springfield's bottom of the lineup then came through. Yellow Jackets' 5-6-7 batters reach safely -- the final on a pop fly to pitcher, who drops it... Drew Wilson then ended the game with a two-run single.

Very good game on both sides.

Craig Harris picked up the win in relief. Leo Koski pitched the first 4-5 innings.

Daniel Smith went the distance for Portland and had a very good outing... i think he had 12 Ks.

Congrats Bobcats on a good win.

Of course Springfield didn't really have any of their pitchers available and had to use their catcher... but Macon's pitcher shut Springfield down...

Score didn't indicate how close it was. 2-0 going into top of sixth when Yellow Jackets juggling lineup caught up... playing a second baseman at short, a pitcher in center and a center fielder at catcher will eventually catch up with you... and that's what happened in the sixth.

uhhh... beating C.A. isn't a big accomplishment. East Robertson beat them like 15-3 earlier this year. Jo Byrns beat them 20-0...

don't be gettin' the big head just yet.

Greenbrier 8, White House 2

Jeremy Hudson from Springfield had one of the best dunks I've seen on the high school level in a while against David Lipscomb Friday night. Point guard Rico Collier dribbled upcourt on a fast break, threw it up in the air with one hand when he got to the free throw line and Hudson slammed it down with one hand as he leap from the left side. There might be more acrobatic dunks out there, but the fast pace action of the dunk made it one to remember.

It actually was a back-and-forth game... I don't believe anyone had much larger than a fourth quarter lead. Coopertown held them scoreless in the fourth quarter. Their guards were able to offset a large height advantage that Lake City had.

It was a really good junior high girls basketball game.
