POPLARVILLE — For the fourth time in just over a week Pearl River’s softball team has earned a sweep. After taking both ends of doubleheaders at East Mississippi and against both Copiah-Lincoln and Northwest last week, the Lady Wildcats swept the MACJC’s weekly honors.
Southern Miss junior right-hander Walker Powell earned Conference USA Co-Pitcher of the Week honors on the strength of a complete-game effort against Middle Tennessee last Friday night.

HATTIESBURG – William Carey wrapped up the regular season with a series sweep of Loyola University, defeating the Wolfpack 10-0 in Game 3 Saturday afternoon at Milton Wheeler Field.
PETAL – Down by five in the bottom of the seventh inning, Petal found itself with an opportunity to potentially win Game 2 of the series against Biloxi.
OAK GROVE – Sometimes it really is better to be lucky than good.
Oak Grove got some lucky breaks when it was needed most and cashed them in for a dramatic 4-3 victory over Harrison Central in the second round of the Class 6A playoffs Friday night at Harry Breland Field.
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. – Walker Powell tossed a complete game and the Golden Eagles used a five-run, sixth inning to capture a 7-1 series-opening victory over Middle Tennessee Friday night at Reese Smith Jr. Field.
PURVIS – Simply put, Newton County’s pitcher Shelby Anderson controlled the 4-0 win over Purvis in Game 1 of the third-round series. Anderson threw 14 strikeouts in the complete game shutout, and the Lady Cougars will have two games at their home field to close out the series Saturday.
