POPLARVILLE, Miss. — No. 2 Pearl River baseball shook off a tough loss in the opener by tossing a three-hit shutout in the nightcap to split the day against UA Rich Mountain, falling 10-6 and winning 5-0.
"We can learn a lot from what they did today — hitting the baseball to the middle of the field," head coach Michael Avalon said. "We need to see that approach and buy into it. It was a team effort to lose the first game, but it was also a team effort to win the second. We just need to make some adjustments."
