Macon had just enough to hold off a furious 7th inning Mexico rally for a 9-8 victory at Larry Bagby Field on Monday:
Brad Boyer with the call on nemopressbox.com. The Tigerettes went into the top of the 7th leading 9-4, but committed three errors to go with a walk and three Mexico hits. The Lady Bulldogs batted around, scored four runs and had runners on second and third when Macon second baseman Presley Applebury caught the line drive to end the game.
It was a 4-4 game in the bottom of the 4th inning when Reece Barnett gave Macon the lead for good:
Barnett went 2-3 and reached base four times. She was named our Freeman Financial and Insurance Player of the Game. Payton Weimer battled through the 7th throwing a total of 137 pitches to finish the complete game. She also walked four times. The 6-through-9 batters in the Macon lineup produced eight hits. The Tigerettes win their first district title since 2017 and improve to 22-13. They will play at Lutheran St. Charles/Veritas in a Class 3 quarterfinal game on Saturday. We plan to have the broadcast on nemopressbox.com.
Mexico wraps up the season 18-11. You can hear the complete broadcast by going to our Game Archive section of our website.
