NASHVILLE — Clark Carter’s solo blast leading off the seventh inning broke a 3-all tie and Brantley County added an insurance run en route to beating Berrien here in the Region 1-A opener Tuesday.
Carter drove a 2-1 pitch into the March 17 night sky to left giving the Herons (7-8 overall, 2-2 region) a 4-3 lead over the Rebels (6-10, 1-6), who lost their sixth consecutive game, in the first matchup of the three-game series.
Kaden Hendrix (2-for-3) followed with a walk and Jackson Rowell (1-for-2) reached when his sacrifice bunt was booted. A two-out walk to Carson Coger loaded the bases with Parker Rentz’s (1-for-2) bloop single scoring Hendrix for a 5-3 lead.
