MYRTLE – Saturday was a litmus test of sorts for two area teams. The home team passed. The Myrtle Hawks broke a tie and put up six runs in the bottom of the sixth to beat the Baldwyn Bearcats 8-5.
These teams made it deep into the Class 1A playoffs last year and are now both in Class 2A. “It's always good to get a win, especially against a quality 2A opponent,” Hawks coach Brandon Montgomery said. “Our divisions match up in the playoffs, so we very well could be seeing them again pretty soon.
” Myrtle (13-4) had runners on second and third with one out in the sixth. Wes Stanton then hit a ground ball that went right through the first baseman’s legs. Two runs scored to make it 4-2 Hawks.
