Northeast Florida high school baseball regional second-round preview (5A)

High school baseball regional semifinals

REGION 1-5A

7 p.m. Thursday

Lynn Haven Mosley (16-11) at Columbia (20-8)

A quick turnaround for the Tigers, following Tuesday night's Truitt Todd-led shutout of St. Augustine. They've got several strong options on the mound for Thursday against Mosley, which includes a potent power hitter in Cole Horton. The senior homered once more against Stanton, his eighth on the year, while beating the Blue Devils 14-3 in the opening round. Columbia's Hayden Gustavson and Chandler Howard are both reaching base at a .490 rate or higher. The winner advances to a regional final on Monday against Pensacola Pine Forest or Tallahassee Lincoln.
