Ashdown HS beat Crossett HS 10-0 in the first game of the regional tournament. The game fought the weather with an hour rain delay. When the game went to the rain delay the score was 1-0 Ashdown leading going into the bottom of the second inning. After the delay, Ashdown took advantage of the their athleticism and a wet field, executing the bunt game to a T.

On the mound 2016 LHP Drake Streeter was impressive, mixing his breaking in, in fastball counts and location his fastball on both sides of the plate. Streeter threw 7 innings allowed 3 hits punched out 7 and allowed 1 run.

No. 1 Star City High School 3 vs No. 4 Bauxite High School 2

Star City HS beat Bauxite HS 3-2 in a pitchers dual in game three. Star City used their junior duo of 2016 RHP Blake Wynn and RHP Garry Hill to combine for the win. Bauxite senior RHP Ben Madison was sharp in the loss.

Star City came out fast, Wynn retired the side in order and the offense exploded for 3 runs in the bottom of the first. An error, a Wynn single and Hill double and the Bulldogs were rolling. A good pitcher can put a stop to that in a hurry. Madison did just that settling in over the next five innings, shutting the Bulldogs down. Every time they threatened, he had the same answer a strike out with his wipe out slider.

Madison’s final line on the day was 6 innings pitched allowing 6 hits and striking out 10.
