Caden Ross accounted for Har-Ber’s first run as he was hit by a pitcher and later scored on an error. Austin Jones then made it 2-0 when he came home as part of a double steal, and Ross scored the Wildcats’ final run in the third when he singled and scored on a single by Ethan Fender.

Felder then held Southside to a hit through the first six innings. The Mavericks scored their run in the seventh when Ty Jones singled and came home on Bailey Mattlingly’s single, but Ridley entered the game and picked up the final two outs for the save.
