The MHSAA high school baseball playoffs began Friday and there were five teams in our coverage area that competed. Six total teams are playing in the postseason, but Oak Grove is the lone team with a bye into the second round.
Below is a recap of area Game 1s:
Petal vs. D’Iberville
On this week’s episode of The PineBeltSPORTS Podcast, we focus solely on this weekend’s first round of the high school baseball playoffs.
We discuss Petal-D’Iberville (8:40), Pass High-Sumrall (15:15), Purvis-St. Stanislaus (19:05), Mt. Olive-Lumberton (22:55) and Sacred Heart-Sebastopol (25:10) throughout the episode.
For the fourth straight season, the Petal Panthers are a No. 3 seed heading into the 6A playoffs. Despite the seeding, though, the Panthers are trying to win a first-round series against a coast counterpart for the third time out of those four years.
On this week’s episode of The PineBeltSPORTS Podcast, Camal and Andrew open with quirky traditions at The Masters (2:40) before jumping into more local discussions.
On this week’s episode of The PineBeltSPORTS Podcast, Camal and Andrew discuss the Petal-Oak Grove game Tuesday, each of our area team’s playoff picture and some Southern Miss baseball as it prepares for a weekend series against Marshall.
PETAL – Oak Grove took care of business against rival Petal 10-5 on Tuesday. The Warriors’ win keeps them one district game behind George Country for the first-place spot in Region 5-6A and sets the two teams up for a collision course next Tuesday.
HATTIESBURG – It didn’t take long for the Oak Grove Lady Warriors to erase the painful memory of last week’s walk-off loss to Petal.
Behind a 10-hit attack and Ryanne Hornsby in the circle, Oak Grove got a little redemption by run-ruling the Lady Panthers 10-0 in six innings exactly one week after that loss.
On this week’s episode of The PineBeltSPORTS Podcast, we take a deep dive into Sumrall’s win over Purvis and PCS’ conference-opening win over MRA.
After discussing other prep teams last week, we made sure to include Purvis and PCS this week. After that, we close with a Southern Miss baseball discussion.
On this week’s episode of The PineBeltSPORTS Podcast, area high school baseball is the main topic.
On this week’s episode of The PineBeltSPORTS Podcast, Camal visits with Sumrall baseball coach Larry Knight to discuss a number of topics. Also, Andrew and Camal preview the Conference USA basketball tournament, as well as talk a little bit about Southern Miss baseball’s offensive woes.
