Pearl River sweeps Southwest Mississippi

Pearl River Community College Sports Information

POPLARVILLE, Miss. (WDAM) - The No. 2 Pearl River baseball team moved one step closer to clinching the MACCC title Tuesday after sweeping Southwest on sophomore night. The Wildcats took game one 9-5 before run-ruling the Bears 14-3 in game two.

PRCC’s magic number is now down to one and the Wildcats can clinch the MACCC title with a win on Friday against Northeast.

“They did a really good job of barreling balls up,” Pearl River coach Michael Avalon said. “A lot of credit to them. The big thing was that I didn’t see the run total keep going up. I knew we had a chance if we could get going. Thankfully our guys picked up the slack and that momentum carried over into game two.”
