Rishard Woods and the Indians finished second in the annual Riverside Spring Break Tournament, a competition they won last year.AVON – A bases loaded sac-fly scored the winning run and proved to be the fatal score for Yazoo City Saturday as they fell 5-4 to host Riverside in the annual spring break tournament finale.
The Indians took home the first place trophy last season.
Looking for the their season-best fourth straight victory, the Indians found themselves trailing 4-0 after just two innings, working starting pitcher Demarcus Mahone with a pair of walks and singles.
The Indians tied the game in the third inning highlighted by a three run double from Sam Campbell to clear the bases.
The game remained scoreless until the seventh thanks in part to Riverside pitcher Tre Hobbs who struck out 10
After loading the bases in the bottom of the seventh, Riverside hit a sacrifice fly to right field to score the walk-off run.
Mahone earned the loss on the mound after pitching 6.1 innings and giving up six hits and five runs. He struck out two batters. Mahone finished with a pair of hits.
Coming off their second straight win over state power Vicksburg last week, the Indians shutdown the Shaw Eagles to the tune of 16-0, their second highest runs total of the season in the first game of the tournament.
Dear Editor:
In the 6 April 2013 edition of The Yazoo Herald you published a letter from Cynthia Fuller, "Thanks to (Van) Foster for helping get bridge replaced."
After reading this lettter, I had the impression that the bridge was completed and traffic was moving along normally.
Wrong! Last Sunday I was on my way to homecoming at Providence Baptist Church. I turned north onto old 49 and saw the signs that the bridge was out. I assumed that they hadn't gotten around to removing the signs. I expected to cross Thompson Creek on the new bridge. When I approached the creek the road was barricaded and construction equipment was down in the creek.
Perhaps The Herald can keep us updated as to the progress being made on the new bridge.
