The Westwood baseball team hosted Cornersville on Friday evening at Fred Deadman Park. In a game you heard here on Thunder Radio, the Rockets rallied from 4 runs down to get an exciting win. Westwood fought their way to a 13 to 8 victory.
Westwood pushed across 3 runs in the 2nd inning as they jumped out to a 3 to 0 lead. And carried a 4 to 2 lead into the 5th inning. But Cornersville sent 12 batters to the plate in the 5th inning to build an 8 to 4 lead and seize the momentum. Not to be counted out, the Rockets tied the game in the bottom of the 5th at 8 runs apiece and added 5 more runs in the 6th to roll to the win.
Westwood banged out 8 hits and got the benefit of 6 walks, 2 hit batters and 3 Bulldog errors to improve to 2 and 1 on the season. Jaiden Warren came on in relief in the 5th inning to get the win. Cayden Trail was 2 for 3 with 2 singles, a walk, 2 RBI and 3 runs scored. Jayden Carter was 2 for 3 at the plate with a double, 3 stolen bases and 2 runs scored. Caiden Warren had a double, a single and 2 RBI.
The Rockets were set to return to the diamond on Monday but with the closing of the school system due to the COVID-19 concerns, all Westwood prep sports are postponed until further notice.
