M.J. McWhorter  brought momentum from the all-star game to Sunday’s battle for first place as the Rascals blanked the North Delta Dealers 6-0.

McWhorter’s 2-for-3 performance capped with two RBI helped pace Tallahatchie’s (12-5) offense in the much needed win to stay atop the Cotton States North Division.

McWhorter’s first RBI came in the third, as he plated Tyler Wilson to take the 1-0 lead. The Rascals would add two more runs in the fifth and one in the sixth, all on North Delta (11-5) errors.

Tupelo needed only two runs to top the Rascals Tuesday night, as netiher team had a productive night offensively.

Tallahatchie started the game with their only two hits, as Lee Wilson and John Stephens had back-to-back singles, but neither David Williams or Ben Wallis could bring the runners home.

Tupelo scored their first run in the second, as the Thunder loaded the bases after Matt Lewis and Tyler Vuncannon were walked, and Whit Whitten singled. The third walk of the inning placed Ladarius Cole on base, while plating Lewis, making 1-0 in favor of the visitors.

I have heard consistently throughout this past year that I should write outdoors features. Now if you know anything about me, you would know that I have zero knowledge about hunting, fishing, etc., nor have I taken part in these activities. That is until this week. Union County, this is what you have been waiting for.

The Rascals split with the GT Jets over the weekend, winning 7-4 on Saturday and dropping a 15-10 decision on Sunday.

David Williams went  2-for-4, while Chris Lucius was 2-for-5 in Sunday’s game.

The Jets went up 10-0 before the Rascals saw their first runs, and despite a strong effort, Tallahatchie’s comeback fell short.

The Rascals put up five runs in the fifth, scoring all five before registering their first out of the inning.

Myrtle’s Jimel Judon led with a double, as Tallahatchie had five hits and an error by the Jets.
