The Westwood baseball team traveled to Lynchburg on Monday night for a conference matchup with Moore County.

The Rockets got on the board first in the opening inning as Nick Bogle got aboard and scored to give Westwood a 1 to 0 lead. After falling behind 2 to 1 after the first inning, Westwood got single runs in the 3rd, 4th and 7th innings to even their season record at 2 and 2. Nugent and Trent Thompson each had a pair of hits in the win for Westwood.
