The Dawson County High School varsity baseball team held off a late charge from Cherokee Bluff High School March 16 to win the rubber match of their three-game series by a final score of 8-6. The win gave the Tigers the series victory by a 2-1 margin and moved the team to the middle of the pack in region 7-AAA with a regional record of 3-3 and an overall record of 5-4. “We are at the point I thought we would be after two series of region play,” Head Coach Dwayne Sapp said. “Hopefully, we will continue to swing the bats well and keep getting better each time out.” In his fourth start of the year, pitcher Cameron Moore opened the game by retiring the first two batters, one looking, one swinging, until a single by Cherokee Bluff put him off his mark and the Bears chalked up two runs to take the early lead. The Tigers responded immediately with a blistering, line-drive home run from catcher Bo Lewis for two runs and emerged from the first inning locked in a 2-2 tie. They went on to extend their lead as they bat around the order in the bottom of the second to add four more runs.
