ELLISVILLE, Miss. — No. 3 Pearl River baseball battled back on the road to win game two of the series 7-3 after falling to No. 7 Jones 4-2 in game one.
"We've won two out of three against them so far," head coach Michael Avalon said. "That's something we're thankful for against a rival, because we know how tough it is. I'll never take that for granted — it's extremely difficult to do. But our expectation is to win all three."

It was appropriate that on St. Patrick’s Day, the team that dominated its game was the one wearing green.
Lamar Christian used an overwhelming first inning to defeat Hillcrest Christian 13-0 in four innings Tuesday at the LCS Field.
The Lions improved to 11-2 overall, and 3-0 in MAIS District 4-2A; Hillcrest remained winless.
Despite the lop-sided margin, LC head coach Matthew Parker wasn’t 100 percent pleased with his team’s focus with a big lead.

ELLISVILLE — In a top-10 matchup, No. 3 Pearl River and No. 7 Jones split both games of a doubleheader between the two squads in conference play.
Jones rode a dominant pitching performance from Colton Smith to take Game 1, while Pearl River answered behind timely hitting in Game 2 to salvage the split in a key MACCC showdown.
Both schools displayed terrific pitching, with just 22 hits combined through both games, and both showed the ability to come up with important at-bats in key moments.

What’s the hardest thing, psychologically, for normally reasonable gardeners to do? For decades I have extolled folks to adopt some very straightforward and rewarding horticultural practices which, on first glance, seem counterintuitive.
Not talking about resisting new plants with unknown abilities to survive our climate, or raising the mower to have a thicker, fuller, less weedy lawn, or even being judgmental about how others prune their crape myrtles.
