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.
It’s not about how the Purvis Tornadoes spent most of the season with peaks and valleys, coach Tony Farlow said. It’s about how they’re playing entering the postseason, and the Tornadoes are coming off two solid wins over Poplarville and Lumberton to close out the regular season.
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.
PURVIS – It’s become a free-for-all in Region 7-4A, with one week of region play remaining and four teams contending for two playoff spots.
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.
SUMRALL – The Purvis Tornadoes outhit the Sumrall Bobcats and smashed three home runs Friday night, but it still wasn’t enough to take down their rivals.
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.
PURVIS – Sumrall set the tone when Javan Williams hit a solo home run off Purvis’ starting pitcher Jessie Johnson in the second inning.
PURVIS – David Entrekin thinks he has two aces on his Purvis softball team, and he’s not afraid to roll the dice with either of them.
