A New Month

Baileyton, Tennessee is a tough place to win high school baseball games, as the North Greene Huskies have been one of the better programs in our region for years, but in his third consecutive start against the Huskies going back to 2022, and second consecutive start at their home ballpark going back to last season, Josh Whitson was able to pitch into the 7th inning and earn the win.  Whitson had 12 K in his 6 innings of work on Monday night.  Some defensive miscues behind him caused Whitson's pitch count to climb, so senior, Johnathan Greenwell was called upon to put out the fire and earn the save for the visiting Bulldogs.  "Johnny G" struck out all three North Greene batters he faced to nail down the game.  A big 6 run top of the 2nd inning propelled HHS Baseball to a big early lead, a lead the Huskies cut into, but could not overcome.
