HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL ROUNDUP: Braves blank Lanesville to claim SAC title
May 11—BODREN — Host Borden beat Lanesville 1-0 Wednesday afternoon to clinch the Southern Athletic Conference title.
AJ Agnew helped lead the way for the Braves. The senior picked up the victory on the mound, allowing one hit while walking three and striking out eight over six innings.
Agnew also scored the game's lone run on Brody Kennedy's first-inning hit.
"This one had a tournament feel to it," Borden coach Eric Stotts said. "AJ was awesome tonight, as was their pitcher. Brody Kennedy's blooper base-hit drove in Agnew in the first, and we held strong over the next six innings. It showed a lot of moxie to win such a tight game. Congratulations to our kids on winning the conference."
Zander Keith came on in the seventh and earned the save.
The Braves (12-6, 5-0) are scheduled to host Brownstown Central in a doubleheader on Saturday.
