After ending a nine game losing streak to start the season, Yazoo County notched its first win on the year last Friday, 7-4 over Amanda Elzy, only to be shutdown offensively against their long time rivals Yazoo City on Saturday 18-4.
The Panthers found themselves behind 2-1 to Elzy after the first two innings before scoring six unanswered in the fifth and sixth innings to take a 7-2 lead.
Marshall Thomas scored a pair of runs on his single while Tremaine Baldwin, Devontae White and Trebor Gainwell also found the hit column for the Panthers.
Austin Tyson earned the win after pitching 6.1 innings and giving up four runs on two hits while striking out seven batters.

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.
