For the first time since 1990, the Yazoo City Indians are the 2013 Region 3-5A Champions.
Yazoo City beat its arch-rival, 15th-ranked Neshoba Central, 8-2 to complete a season sweep of the Rockets.
With the win, the Indians receive a bye for the first round of the playoffs, and won’t play until May 2.
Indians skipper Gerald Peyton was excited about his team’s relentless effort.
“What a great day to be an Indian,” Peyton said. “It finally paid off for us. With all of the negativity surrounding Yazoo City, this was a great way for my graduating seniors to go out on top.”
The Rockets scored their only two runs in the first inning off of a Indians fielding error.
However, the Indians answered when Gabriel Campbell belted a RBI single to right center field to make it 2-1.
Keon Jones followed to tie the game on a RBI single to bring it to 2-2

For The Herald

Taking the mound Tuesday afternoon in Pheba, Derrick Martin looked confident after the first inning, striking out two of the first three Hebron Christian batters, as his no-hitter possibilities grew even stronger after that point in the game.
In the opening of the MAIS First Round of the playoffs, the district 4-A champs and number one ranked Tri-County handled business with an excellent performance on the mound and pop in the batter’s box as the Rebels rattled Hebron Christian with nineteen hits and eighteen runs to run-rule the Eagles 18-0 after four innings. The game one victory bodes well for a possible deep run into the playoffs for Tri-County.
